One of four great familiar-sounding songs from my 2017 album "I Saw The Scraps: Scraps 8"
lyrics
Verse 1:
Your rainbow-bright flags you’re waving up in the air
And all of that is just fine though
Just watch your back when you are all alone
All of us gays are gayin’ out so proud
Just be careful of all the bigots
Chorus Sang:
You’ll get stitches at the hands of a hater
Woe oh we be livin’ in danger
You’ll get stitches at the hands of a hater
Woe oh we be livin’ in danger
You’ll get stitches at the hands of a hater
Woe oh we be livin’ in danger
Chorus Rapped:
Life in itself is a beautiful thing
It can bring so much good, but can also make you scream
Try to live it, never quit it, don’t forget it, when you’re down
Life in itself is a beautiful thing
It can bring so much good, but can also make you scream
Try to live it, never quit it, don’t forget it, when you’re down
Life in itself is a beautiful thing
It can bring so much good, but can also make you scream
Try to live it, never quit it, don’t forget it, when you’re down
Verse 2:
Heterosexuals are the enemy
At least 8 out of 10 of them are
Just try to keep your distance in the night
‘Cause some of them are always on the prowl
And they don’t give a damn about you
Chorus Sang:
You’ll get stitches at the hands of a hater
Woe oh we be livin’ in danger
You’ll get stitches at the hands of a hater
Woe oh we be livin’ in danger
You’ll get stitches at the hands of a hater
Woe oh we be livin’ in danger
Chorus Rapped:
Life in itself is a beautiful thing
It can bring so much good, but can also make you scream
Try to live it, never quit it, don’t forget it, when you’re down
Life in itself is a beautiful thing
It can bring so much good, but can also make you scream
Try to live it, never quit it, don’t forget it, when you’re down
Life in itself is a beautiful thing
It can bring so much good, but can also make you scream
Try to live it, never quit it, don’t forget it, when you’re down
Bridge [performed simultaneously with additional choruses]:
Heterosexuals are the enemy
And they don’t give a damn about you
Try to get away from the straight guy
But he’s getting closer
Way too much closer
Try to get away from the straight guy
But he’s getting closer
Way too much closer
Oh I try to get away from the straight guy yo oh yeah oh oh oh
Mmmm, mmmm, you’ll be living in danger
Mmmm, mmmm, you’ll be living in danger
Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes,
"we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha...more
