Inspired by a camera-phone video of the same name, where the musician Meredith Yayanos is berated and pushed around by pro-Prop 8 protestors for filming their event, sending her home crying.
The "dung forks" line is a reference to an HL Mencken essay.
lyrics
They start with the clarion cry:
"We've got to save our culture!" (Our vulture culture!)
Under attack, we're under attack
We've got to save our sons from the advancing horde
Marriage! Straight and narrow
It's such a sacred, ancient institution
Until we get bored and we're sick of the kids
Then we lawyer up for half and go back to the chapel
They march on the capitol
Dung forks glitter in the sun
They march to stop the sodomites
Taxes for all and marriage for some
The opposition, under the overpass
The screaming nutter with the over-weight children
Don't get too close, they're known to attack
For the love of God bears a righteous sword
A proposition made under the overpass
It's hard to hide from the love of the Lord
Don't get too close, they're known to attack
For the love of Man bears a constant stain
So keep your secrets to yourself
Don't confess a crush, don't tell no one else your love
When they find out, they might be ashamed
They might fly into a blind rage!
Homo-sexual Panic Disorder:
It's the humiliation of the straight-shooter
It's a legal defense for murder
It's a legal excuse for murder
They march on the capitol
Dung forks glitter in the sun
They march to stop the sodomites
Taxes for all and marriage for some
The opposition, under the overpass
The screaming nutter with the over-weight children
Don't get too close, they're known to attack
For the love of God bears a righteous sword
A proposition made under the overpass
It's hard to hide from the love of the Lord
Don't get too close, they're known to attack
For the love of Man bears a constant stain
