Ask & Tell (Demo)

Wake up, it’s time to wake up
You ask me, I’m gonna tell you

Follow the cadence, left-right-step
But not everyone is allowed to step
Don’t ask me what you don’t wanna hear
We need to make some changes, let me make this clear

Camouflage covers more than troops in the brush
And the red laser dots aimed right towards us
Uncle Sam wants you but doesn’t want me
Well that’s too bad for him cuz we got cures for disease

Big brother, Uncle Sam, you’re missing out
On the best of America’s strengths
Cuz when you’re gay in America you go to great lengths
To win all your battles, now it’s time to shake and rain down like Seattle
Infiltrate the base, rainbows up in ARMY space
Give the boys a taste of the people they waste
Closet doors are blowing off, freedom no longer is lost
Let’s keep the pressure on them, Patrick Murphy leads the cause

Ask me the truth, I clear all the lies
Don’t ask, don’t tell, hate in disguise
It’s time to march, we all must try
Don’t ask, don’t tell, hate in disguise

Secrets are kept while the government accepts
The mistreatment of its people as if it’s okay to expect
That gays can’t fight, we’ll distract the men at night
But that’s a stereotype, so let’s get this right

Don’t ask, don’t tell, we’re all burning to hell
Well where’s the Constitution, let’s brainstorm a resolution
Lightning crashes through the hummers and the rifles through the summer
Our angry is just building, the army is just killing

Chances of success when they refuse to make gay vets
They abuse our rights and freedoms but we no longer will let
Them refuse hard working men and women at the army station
Or endorse segregation like a pre-Lincoln nation

Ask me the truth, I clear all the lies
Don’t ask, don’t tell, hate in disguise
It’s time to march, we all must try
Don’t ask, don’t tell, hate in disguise

March for our rights, bring strength to the fight
We will no longer be silent, the truth is in sight
And it’s clear to me that history
Will repeat itself if not carefully

Studied and examined and altered to avoid
The hard times and failures alongside our sailors
Alongside our infantry, high on their glory
So, now allow me to expose the whole story

Gays aren’t allowed cuz the old timers vowed
Against homo integration, they’re just abominations
Crazy accusations take over the radio stations
And broadcast our message twenty-four-seven, I’m restless

Never rest until success hits, never stop until we get it
Ain’t nothing I’m regretting, nobody else is telling
Nobody else is helping, it’s time for me to start yelling
Let’s fight for our own country, yeah it’s still our country too
Barack Obama, Mr. Murphy, I’m passing the torch to you
To keep the flame alive and blazed
Or it’s up to me to come and save
What democracy protects, and who we vote for an elect

And I elect to join the forces, let the haters come with torches
We’ll meet their fire with our light
Extinguish hate, collaborate and demonstrate
Demonstrate, demonstrate we’re right

We’re entering a fight of the minds and at night
But our spirits remain tight, just one goal, all things good and right
It’s my freedom to speak, and it’s my freedom to think
Just let the haters hate cuz soon all hate will be extinct

Ask me the truth, I will clear up all the lies
Don’t ask, don’t tell, hate in disguise
It’s time to march, we all must try
Don’t ask, don’t tell is hate in disguise

I’m telling you guys it’s, in disguise 
Look to the skies
Now wake up
Wake up
