I'm not actually homosexual, though I play the part in this song.
lyrics
I was looking out of the window when
I opened up the scriptures to read
that one day I would be saved from all the sin that I live in today
and out of the sky
came a brilliant light
and my mother was there
and the light it frollicked on her hair
so nice so beautiful to die
and before me I did see
a thousand angels
their breath they breathed on me
and i thought to myself
life is pitiful
I might as well cut it off
I want to die
so i took out a gun
said this is the end
I pulled the trigger
and i started to die
but my dad came in and he stopped
saw the angel of death
saw jesus christ
saw my lord and savior
and he handed me a knife
and i looked him in the eye
and i started to say
that i thought i was gay
cause that guy that sat in front of me
he had the prettiest hair and the nicest eyes
I wondered why
Jesus was crucified.
