For the world

"For the world" is a song by LorD and Master from the album Queer. The song is about how having a sexuality and/or gender identity which differs from the majority of the population can make life complicated, but also enriches us all; "I wouldn't change it for the world."

Lyrics

It makes life complicated
But I wouldn’t change it for the world
Once a year we march down the street
With our wings and our flags unfurled

I can hold my fiancé’s hand
I can kiss him on the lips
The rest of the year it’s dangerous
As backwards our progress slips

Too many people want to sit back
And see you cry
It’s as though they think that rights
Are divvied up like pie

More for me means less for you
It’s an unjustified belief
Educate the people right
And achieve some form of relief

Why don’t you just stop
Why don’t you just act normal

It makes life complicated
But I wouldn’t change it for the world
Once a year we march down the street
With our wings and our flags unfurled

I can hold my fiancé’s hand
I can kiss him on the lips
The rest of the year it’s dangerous
As backwards our progress slips

Why don’t you just stop
Why don’t you just act normal

It makes life complicated
But I wouldn’t change it for the world
Once a year we march down the street
With our wings and our flags unfurled

I can hold my fiancé’s hand
I can kiss him on the lips
The rest of the year it’s dangerous
As backwards our progress slips
