Compassion is shit,
Soft-spoken words and a look of concern
The fire is lit
Emotion will never extinguish these flames
That inaction has built

What makes it burn?
A nation so straight deviation's a crime
When will we learn
That sexuality is not a punishable offense?

On a cold October night, a gentle soul was crucified
And what remains of his blood
Still stains our idle hands,
Soft-spoken words won't justify
Culprits are we

Let's talk about rights
Let's talk about sexual orientation
Let's talk about you, and an entire homophobic nation
Will you follow me down?
Can we not separate ourselves from such hate?
Let's sever the head of the beast with the crown,
Let's no longer participate

Let's talk about rights
Let's talk about sexual orientation
Let's talk about you, and an entire homophobic nation
Will you follow me down?
(Why won't anyone stand up?)
Will you follow me down?
(Why won't anyone stand up?)
Will you follow me down?
(Why won't anyone stand up?)
(Why won't anyone stand up?)
Will you follow me down?
(Why won't anyone stand up?)
(Why won't anyone stand up?)
Will you follow me down?
