Song: Island of Shame
Artist: Lagwagon
Album: Trashed
By Joe Muggah
And it's prejudice; as if he chose to be this way.
The wicked people that he would take...
One summer morn' he left us to shame
in some small town of small ways.
The one they feared they might turn to stone.
They feared to hold his hand and he died alone.
He died alone.
They might turn to stone, alone.
Don't leave them on an island of shame.
Your solution: you homophobic.
You coward, you send them away
to an island of misery.
You're not immune to any disease.
I cannot argue when the truth is plain to see.
In your beliefs, your fear of death,
I see reflections of society.
We'll take our last breath, alone.
Don't leave them on an island of shame.
Open your eyes, it's all in sight.
Adding insult to injury.
Cause deep inside the truth and lies,
it's not that blind.
He was alone.
And it's prejudice, as if he chose to be this way.
The wicked people that he would take.
It's pejudice.
Yes it's prejudice, as if he chose to be this way.
The wicked people that he would take,
that'd like to stab him in the back.
