lyrics

Act Up!
please don't stay the same.
Hanging on-ly kissing boot
No Spare Change

There's too much space here
for straights to cruise
There are no traffic accidents
There are no fools!

are we doing things we're not supposed to?
won't follow party line down state-sanctioned bed
no

You're in the way
of their plans
They're just trying
to have a good time
You're bringing them down

Queer 'till I die
this cannot be cleaned
Coming out every day
Don't fuck with Me

Whisper it once
then shout it twice
Calling out this pair
of loaded dice

Refuse to couple off
to hide hierarchy
Through these thin walls
I wanna hear a better scream!

are we doing things we're not supposed to?
won't follow party line down state-sanctioned bed
no

You're in the way
of their plans
They're just trying
to have a good time
You're bringing them down

Queer 'till I die
we can't be cleaned
Coming out every day
Come on, fuck with Me

{rant interlude}
now that some can marry
and make them say our names
we could be forgiven for thinking
we'd won some kind of game

but queers still die at borders
on each and every street
we do their violence for them
and often we don't eat

they surveill us on facebook
in sexual health clinics
laws in their back-pockets
waiting for us to split

but assimilation will mean death
assimilation will mean death
assimilation means death
We Are Alive
{/}

and I want to do things we're not supposed to
too shy to lie with people in my bed
yo

They're in the way
of our plans
We're just trying
to have a good time
So we're bringing them down
