Dedicated to those who took a licking and still keep on ticking.

lyrics

Ricky

I'VE MARCHED IN ALL THE PRIDE PARADES.
I'VE RAISED MY VOICE IN SONG.
IN THE INTERIM,
I JOINED THE GYM
TO KEEP MY BODY STRONG.
I'VE DONE IT ALL.
I'VE SEEN IT ALL.
FORGIVE ME WHEN I SAY,
I'M TIRED OF BEING GAY.

I'VE PARTIED TIL THE COWS CAME HOME
WITH GLITTER IN MY HAIR.
I'VE MET THE BUNCH,
FOR SUNDAY BRUNCH,
IN JUST MY UNDER WARE.
I'VE STRUCK A POSE.
AND FILLED MY NOSE.
I'VE DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY,
NOW I'M TIRED OF BEIN’ GAY

I'VE RIPPED MY ABS.
I'VE RIPPED MY JEANS.
I'VE ANSWERED ADS IN MAGAZINES.
I'VE POSTERED WALLS AND FLYERED CARS.
I'VE TWO-STEPPED
IN THE COUNTRY BARS.
I'VE SPENT MY RENT
IN SHOPPING MALLS,
I'VE GROWN A BEARD
AND SHAVED MY BALLS!

I'VE DONE ALL THAT A MAN CAN DO
TO KEEP HIS SOCIAL STANDING,
BUT OH, MY DEARS
YOU TRENDY QUEERS
ARE JUST SO DAMNED DEMANDING!
I'VE HAD MY FUN,
AND NOW I'M UNINSPIRED
AND BLASÉ,
AND SO TIRED OF BEIN’ GAY.

I KNEW SOMEDAY WHEN ALL
WAS SAID AND DONE
I'D HAVE TO PAY,
BUT WHO KNEW THAT
I'D HAVE TO SEND
THE CHECK TO DORIAN GREY!
I'M STILL A HOMO DEEP INSIDE
ALTHOUGH MY SPIRIT'S SAGGIN',
I MUST CONFESS,
I'M JUST A MESS,
MY FAGGOT ASS IS DRAGGIN'.
“CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!”
I'M TIRED OF BEING GAY.
YOU KNOW I’M TIRED,
SO TIRED,
TIRED OF BEIN’ GAY.
