Straight Ally

Description

Yes. Another one. Blame the senate for repealing the DADT repeal. I hate them. I really do.

I'm honestly a little nervous about the the reaction I'm going to get from this one. Obviously, what the bigots say means nothing to me but there are others this time who might disagree. It honestly makes me nervous.

In truth, this doesn't apply to me exactly as I don't have an orientation but "Straight Ally" sounded better.

To the point: I'm active, I'm loud, I'm pushy, I'm vocal. There are certain issues where I can respect the other side but this has never been one of them. I respect your right to have a different opinion, I respect your right to voice it, but I don't respect your way of thinking. You're a bigot. Plan and simple. Go ahead, try and prove me wrong. That's what it comes down to 100% of the time.

So naturally, people ask me all the time why I--someone completely unaffected by the rights of marriage within the LGBT community, the repeal of the DADT policy, protection for gay, tran or, bi persons in the work place and pretty much anything else you can think of-- give a rat's ass what happens. The answer is simple: I care. I'm a compassionate human being who cares about other human beings. I care about this for the same reason I'd care if I saw a stranger crying on the street. It may not affect me, but it affects others. A lot of others. Some of whom are near and dear to me. I don't do it for attention or for status, I don't vocalize to be rebellious. I do it because I honestly care, because I have an honest desire to help, to make a change. It may not affect me personally, but it affects enough people for me to want to get involved.

I don't know, maybe I'm a busy-body who just wants to be involved in something that isn't my business. But as long as I'm alive, I'll do whatever I can to help my fellow man. This is an injustice taking place in my own backyard. I'll always work to correct it.

Can you feel life
Moving through your mind?
Ooooooooh,
Looks like it came back for more
Yeah...
Can you feel time
Slippin' down your spine?
Ooooooooh,
You try and try to ignore
Yeah,

But you can hardly swallow
Your fears and pain
When you can't help but follow
It puts you right back where you came

Live and learn!
Hanging on to the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way

WHAAAAAOOOHHH, oh, oh, yeah.

Can you feel life
Tangle you up inside?
Yeah,
Now you're face down on the floor!
Oh,

But you can't save your sorrow
You've paid in trade
When you can't help but follow!
It puts you right back where you came

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way

Whoa, whoa, OH YEAH!!!!!

[Guitar solo]
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!" is sung in the midst of the solo

There's a face searchin' far, so far and wide.
There's a place where you dreamed you'd never find.
Hold on to what if!
(Hold on to what if!)

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday
