HETEROPHOBIC Lyrics

Don't cancel me

I'm heterophobic

I'm kinda scared to admit

It seems like some freaky shit

I don't know how you do it

I'm heterophobic

And I'm not saying it's right

Wish I could sleep through the night

Wish we could not fight this fight

It's not the people that I fear

You're lovely people

It's more the culture that sure makes me terrified

Cause when the law is really clear

That we're not equal

How do you let someone unequal deep inside?

And I'll admit

There's trauma there

It fucks me up

But still that shit

It don't seem fair

I guess tough luck

But I won't fuck with that

I'm heterophobic

I think it's time to admit

No I'm not jealous one bit

It doesn't seem worth the risk

I'm heterophobic

It simply doesn't make sense

Is this just some big pretense?

That feels to me like past tense?

The ERA's still not ratified

Though a groom may say he respects his bride

When they're standing hand in hand side by side

It's all lies if she has no rights

Only a few of you will follow me

But more of you are listening

And though you won't admit it publicly

You feel the truth of which I sing

And it's okay that you're still closeted

I been there before

It takes time to come around to opening up that door

But I'm not saying anything that you don't know in your core

From back when you were four

And your thoughts were still yours

The latest statistics say four in five women

At some point have been harassed by men

If that same statistic said wolves harassed women

We'd say we had a wolf problem

But cis men make the system

So they can't be the problem

The system is broken I guess

But if I'm a woman and wolves are my problem

Why would I keep defending them?

And why the hell would I invite them in?

I swear I don't hate men

Just scared for straight women

I know we're all scared in the streets

At least I feel safe in the sheets

I know my lez privilege is sweet

That's why I keep dropping these beats

Cause since the old nine overturned Roe v. Wade and our rights

This crypt set a really low bar

I can't believe they passed the bar

I'm taking this way way too far

Want us to admit who we are

Cause honey this might sound extreme

Like I got some mystical dream

I wish you could all join my team

Come on, set your orgasm free

All the girls are doing it

I'm sorry not sorry

Don't hate me

You won't straighten me out

I repeat

It's not the people that I fear

You're lovely people

It's more the culture that sure makes me terrified

I have this nightmare that I have a wife and

We build such a beautiful home and full life

But then we have a daughter who comes home one day

And she says to us both"Please moms, don't be afraid

But I'm sorry to tell you I think that I'm straight"

And of course I will say"I love you either way

But the truth is I'm also so fucking afraid

I wish you could be gay

Life's much safer this way

And I wish that the world were a place that you're safe

To just be who you are and be loved all the same

But the truth is this country just isn't that way

And you don't own your body

And that terrifies me

I'm sorry that I am reacting this way

I'm not saying you're strange

I don't want you to change

I love you all the same

It just doesn't seem safe

And I cannot protect you from all of that pain

I wish I could protect you from all of that pain"

And I'll admit

There's trauma there

It fucks me up

But still that shit

It don't seem fair

I guess tough luck

But I won't fuck with that

I'm heterophobic

Oh, I'm heterophobic

It's that freaky mainstream shit

I guess you've all normalized

I'm heterophobic

Yeah, I'm heterophobic

Yeah, I got a fear in me

Based on reality

That I can't hide

I'm heterophobic

Yeah, I'm heterophobic

I finally admitted it

I bet you all wish I'd lied

I'm heterophobic

Oh, I'm heterophobic

And no I'm not proud of it

In fact I'm quite terrified
