When Two Men Kiss Songtext / Lyric

When two men kiss

Walk hand in hand

The fear of what

You don't understand

Explodes into violence

Screams break the silence

"The guy was a poof"

"The guy was queer"

Dehumanised

And living in fear

No, you're not thick

And you say they're sick

But the only sickness

I can see

Is the cancer of

Your bigotry

What kind of society do we live in where the simple act of showing love and affection towards another human being results in this kind of sickening murderous violence? Intolerance, bigotry and hate - I say it's time to stop.

From nazi boneheads to Bad Brains - Warped attitiudes that we must change and it's not just homofobia - Rampant sexism, macho dancing, beating of woman - All this is rife within the "scene" - often closer to home than we care to acknowledge. It's time to stop sweeping things under the carped - Confront the problems - And act.
