about

I've tried to make this song as inclusive as possible, because I'm sick to the teeth of jerkwads trying to exclude all my friends.

lyrics

Ell, gee, bee tee q,
Can you tell me how this hurts you?
What does love or identity do
That makes you want to kill them?

Gay or lesbian, poly or non-bi-
Nary are ways to be.
They're not attacking the status quo --
They're trying to find their own humanity.

Jewish, Muslim, atheist too,
Can you tell me how this hurts you?
What does someone else's faith do
That makes you want to kill them?

When it comes right down to it,
Each church has just one member.
Would you want someone telling you
You couldn't celebrate the 25th of December?

Black or gold or brown of hue,
I guess you were told that this hurts you.
What does someone's skin color do
That makes you want to kill them?

Eight billion people on the planet,
None of them the same,
So why does just one difference make
You think you can kill or enslave them in Jesus’ name?

Ell, gee, bee tee q,
Jewish, Muslim, atheist too,
Black or gold or brown of hue,
This is a song to celebrate you.

Everyone else is invited too,
Islander, cishet, Lakota, Hindu,
Wouldn't it be a great breakthrough if
Everyone was treated the same... as... you!
