3. "Fear and Loathing In Laramie"

By Protest The Hero

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 that 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
That 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
Will you follow me down?
Why won’t anyone stand up?

10. it's a song by meLissa esthridge

'scarecrow'

Showers of your crimson blood
Seep into a nation calling up a flood
Of narrow minds who legislate
Thinly veiled intolerance
Bigotry and hate

But they tortured and burned you
They beat you and they tied you
They left you cold and breathing
For love they crucified you

I can't forget hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky

Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold carry your soul away

This was our brother
This was our son
This shepherd young and mild
This unassuming one
We all gasp this can't happen here
We're all much too civilized
Where can these monsters hide

But they are knocking on our front door
They're rocking in our cradles
They're preaching in our churches
And eating at our tables

I search my soul
My heart and in my mind
To try and find forgiveness
This is someone child
With pain unreconciled
Filled up with father's hate
Mother's neglect
I can forgive But I will not forget

Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Rising above all in the name of love

16. I really like American Triangle

by Elton John

Seen him playing in his backyard
Young boy just starting out
So much history in this landscape
So much confusion, so much doubt

Been there drinking on that front porch
Angry kids, mean and dumb
Looks like a painting, that blue skyline
God hates fags where we come from

'Western skies' don't make it right
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Left to die on a high ridge fence
It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming

See two coyotes run down a deer
Hate what we don't understand
You pioneers give us your children
But it's your blood that stains their hands

Somewhere that road forks up ahead
To ignorance and innocence
Three lives drift on different winds
Two lives ruined, one life spent

[progmom]

17. oh.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[neweurope]
