Everyone is gay and everyone smokes pot,
hey - maybe that’s an overstatement but there’s a whole fucking lot.
Don’t ask me how i know or to name names cos I’ll refrain
I’ve seen them stopping on their way down town
The people who play it safe in their workplace or in their family,
the architect, the tradie, the bus driver, barrister and the postie.
Even little old ladies writing letters complaining
I’ve seen them stop in on their way down town
Everyone should pray for a night of endless pleasure,
a holy fuck could save you and loosen your leisure.
Don’t ask me who I’ve been with or what I’ve seen between the sheets.
They made a stop in on their way down town
The pollies, priests and coppers - the celebrated collars of our town - never seemed to keen to stop me as I was going down.
Everyone should be getting laid - can we make it a rule?
How can the law stop you from getting laid?
They should be getting laid - instead of ruining it for everybody else.
What fools
So everyone be gay and smoke what you got -
a holy stone fuck could save you
and drive up your stock.
All these stupid laws to please the vatican and some pill popping, daddy-loving, son of no women people.
Who are gay. they’re SO gay.
their god is one man. That’s pretty gay
and they run the state with facist blind hate,
they dictate to be straight & say you don’t have a play
they say its hell or goal for the unnatural crimes of smoking a spliff and banging your mate.
If everyone was a little bit gay. a little less straight
there would be no war - you’d get your rocks off everyday.
and wouldn’t that be great?
Guess i have to spell it out for you.
