When I was in the third grade
I thought that I was gay
Cause' I could draw
My Uncle was, and I kept my room straight
I told my mom
Tears rushing down my face
She's like "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k"
Trippin'
Yeah I guess she had a point, didn't she
A bunch of stereotypes, all in my head
I remember doing the math
Like "yeah, I'm good at Little League"
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
For those that like the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives
Think it's their decision
And you can be cured
With some treatment and religion
Man made re-wiring of a pre disposition
Playing God
Ah no, here we go
America the brave
Still fears what, we don't know
And God loves all his children
Is some how forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written 3500 years ago
I don't know (Ba ba ba ba)

And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

If I was Gay, I would think hop hop hates me
Have you read the youtube comments lately?
"Man that's Gay" gets dropped on the daily
We become so numb to what we're saying
A culture founded from oppression
Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em?
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color
The complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
It's human rights for everybody
There is no difference
Live on
And be yourself
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same
But that's not important
No freedom 'til we're equal
Damn right I support it

And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love my love my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

We press play, don't press pause
Progress march on
With a veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
'Til the day that my Uncles can be united by law
When kids aren't walking round the hallway
Plagued by a pain in their heart
A world so hateful someone would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper
Isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in, we come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised up

And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is patient
Love is kind
Not crying on someday
Love is patient
Not crying on someday
Love is kind
I'm not crying on Sundays
Love is patient
Not crying on Sundays
Love is kind
Not crying on Sundays
Love is patient
Not crying on Sundays
Love is kind
Not crying on Sundays
Love is patient
Not crying on Sundays
Love is kind
