My Patriotism Is Surging

God Bless The U.S. Gays
by Cansel, after Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just the memory of our strife

I’d thank my lucky stars
to be livin here today.
'Cause dykes and fags still stand for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be a gay American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I won't forget the queers who died
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend us all today.
'Cause there ain’t no doubt we love this land,
God bless the US gays.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's Pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say

That I'm proud to be a gay American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the queers who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend us all today.
'Cause there ain’t no doubt we love this land,
God bless the US gays.

And I’m proud to be a gay American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I won't forget the queers who died
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend us all today.
'Cause there ain’t no doubt we love this land,
God bless the US gays!
