It was an uphill battle for 30 years and now were liberated queers marching in circles for everyone to see Be careful where you put your fist It's easy these days to get hit With any one of our fine ends At the end of the rainbow there's a pile of death an no ones gonna stop what hasn't happened yet and oh these city's colors are alive Can this citys lovers go to bed When this citys eyes are turning red As the streets become a violent flood And our flag this year is covered up in blood I feel so alive When the heat in the citys on the rise As the facts unwind This citys colors are more defined Matthew Presidente http://www.matthewpresidente.com _________________ Words and Music: Matthew Presidente Keys and vocals: Matthew Presidente Guitar: Hazen Rice ________________________________ Video Production Credits: Director - Angela Fairbank Director of Photography - Stephen Emery Camera Ops - Angela Fairbank, Wendy Havens, Stephen Emery Audio - Stephen Emery Post Production - Stephen Emery Tags: matthew presidente, vancouver, langara, gay bashing, homeless, Author: strumcody |
