lyrics

I was a queer teenager in the mid 90s
Jerking off to Rage Against the Machine protest PMRC
I was a queer teenager and I didn’t wanna be
Terrified to catch the eyes of the girl the year above me

NOW WE AREN’T WOUNDED ANIMALS
WE’RE NOT OBJECTS OF PITY
FUCK POSITIVE ROLE MODELS
FAKE PLACES OF SAFETY
GOT NO TIME FOR YOUR CONDESCENSION
FEAR IS WHAT I GREW UP IN
YOU KNOW THAT THERE’S NO PROTECTION
IN ALL OF HUMAN CONNECTION

I was a queer teenager I was a boy I was a girl
Learned about who I was through the medium of slurs
Hiding in the library in case they ever came for me
Wondering if I’d earned it or if the world’s just sadistic

CHORUS

I was a 90’s teenager told to fear dykes, fags, HIV
Putting out for all the boys to prove my heterosexuality
Sneaking out to gay bars, too insecure to fuck
In the toilets throwing up, part of me will never grow up

CHORUS

I was a queer teenager in the mid 90s
