Anthem - Arrowhead

We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re goddamned pissed!

We’re here to stay so get used to it

You’ve got a problem?

We’ve got a whole list!

So take a seat, because this might take a bit

You’ve beaten us down for the last time

Take our fury as a sign

Of the end of the road for your bigotry and hate

We’re gonna burn down the world you helped create

It’s not all misery being queer

Look at us, we’re still here

But for those not so lucky, we’ll raise the flag

There’ll be no more queers in body bags!

We’re everywhere, right under your nose

But you deny that to yourself and god, it shows

In the building sites and the school house halls

We won’t stop til the last bigot falls!

All day, every day, all around the world

Thousands of boys, thousands of girls

Fighting every day for the right to exist

But I might lose the fight if I don’t insist!

It’s not all misery being queer

Look at you, you’re still here

Don’t let them get inside your head

You’re better off alive than you are being dead!

They think we’re small, they think that we’re weak

They think it’s an insult when they call us freaks

But their time will pass, and their ideals will die

And in the aftermath, a just world will rise!

In a sea of ones and zeros, I appear to be a two

But that doesn’t mean I am any lesser than you

We’ll never back down, our motives are explicit

We will never apologise for offending a bigot!

Our right to exist is not up for debate

We will always choose love in the face of your hate

We’re not hurting anyone, and I hate to be blunt

But do you have to be such a C-U-N-T?

Gender is a social construct!

We’re angry and we’re proud, I’ll tell you that for free

Right now, I think we’re allowed to be

When the world doesn’t want to let us be seen

Please stay beautiful, stay unique!

It’s not all misery being queer

We’ve got a strong community here

So, come on my friends, let’s have some fun

And raise a glass to all the great things we’ve done!

Here right now, here we say

We will not be erased!

NB, trans, bi and gay

We will not be erased!
