Pride

All the boys are in the sun Their day is long and life's a fucking party Their altar decked with fruit and wine Denuded they make out like it is not so painful It is not so painful I wish I could walk with pride Wish I had been the one to do the right thing Not cover my deceit with yet more lies If I was beautiful inside If I were true to my own mind I would not poison all I prize I would be gay and easy too I would walk with pride Beautiful inside True to my own mind Escape from the dark side I say that I want true peace Before trampling my heart in an ugly war And marching in a vanguard of unrelenting hate I say that I love my friends Then leave them in the dirt So I can chase some knave Who'd think nothing of watching me burn upon the stake
