The Lavender Song Lyrics by Jinkx Monsoon

2023

What makes them think they have the right
To say what God considers vice
What makes them think they have the right
To keep us out of paradise
They make our lives hell here on earth
Poisoning us with guilt and shame
If we resist, torment awaits
So our love dares not speak its name
The crime is when love must hide
From now on we'll love with pride
We're not afraid to be queer and different
If that means hell, well hell we'll take the chance
They're all so straight, uptight, upright and rigid
They march in lock-step, we prefer to dance
We see a world of romance and of pleasure
All they can see is sheer banality
Lavender nights our greatest treasure
Where we can be just who we want to be
Round us all up, send us away
That's what you'd really like to do
But we're too strong, proud, unafraid
In fact we almost pity you
You act from fear, why should that be
What is it that you're frightened of
The way that we dress, the way that we meet
The fact that you cannot destroy our love
We're going to win our rights
To lavender days and nights
We're not afraid to be queer and different
If that means hell, well hell we'll take the chance
They're all so straight, uptight, upright and rigid
They march in lock-step, we prefer to dance
We see a world of romance and of pleasure
All they can see is sheer banality
Lavender nights our greatest treasure
Where we can be just who we want to be
Lavender nights our greatest treasure
Where we can be just who we want to be
