lyrics

Reporter: 'Why are you here today?'
Marsha P. Johnson: 'Darling, I want my gay rights now!'

Go on get it get flamboyant are you what / hear your royal fam blew up the spot / pan sexual show pony / but put me in the room with Amnesty / quicker now that queens have paved the way / so sick that they're still ignored today / shot glass first blast LGBT / by Sylvia, Storme, and Marsha P.

line up piggy piggy he gon' tick that box to say you're in wrong clothes / rise up chicky chicky day gon' come won't be only this bar we can go / locked in a closet in a fine mink stole / it don't matter if you ain't got soul / locked in a closet in a fine mink stole

she said "I may be crazy that don't make me wrong' / she said "pay em no mind I'll keep singing my song' / 'you can count your karma when nirvana's your goal' / Street Trans Action Revolution! / bricks thrown not a rich bone to suck on / police we push back with out tactics full on / question our progress? Ask your Mother! Ask your Mother!

line up ....

Miss Major: 'Spelled M-I-S-S, been chased but not caught' won't rest / 'This is what Pride looks like. This is what Pride looks like." / Miss Major: 'Spelled M-I-S-S been chased but not caught' she won't rest / 'This is what Pride looks like. This is what Pride looks like."

life is so messy we must inclusivity / 21st century show your proclivity / for beautiful bold abandon of shame / but squeaky cis get the fame / crown of flowers she's wise in fluidity / now in out eyes ain't a dream its lucidity / imma fight thick and thin / throwin bricks at the Stonewall Inn / Line up ... / Freak flag flying / white bros cry / 'why don't you guys do something?' / riot / riot / riot / riot

Sylvia Rivera: 'Revolution now! Gimme a G - A - Y - P - O - W - E - R gay power LOUDER GAY POWER!
