Legalize Our Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Down at guilty party headquarters
It's always guilty party time
Where penance is the price of passion
And passion is our only crime
We must rise up from the darkness
Steaming from these city streets
Run-off swirling all around us
Snaking its way down to the sea
We'll stage a demonstration
And call on every dove
To pass the legislation
To legalize our love
Legalize it
Legalize our love
Why must we shy from the camera
Turn our heads and cover our eyes
Why must we hide from our children
As if they've all been deputized
Calling all our fellow criminals
The lovers who are still at large
All our fellow sex offenders
Let us stand and face the charge
Stage a demonstration
And call on every dove
To pass the legislation
To legalize our love
Legalize it
Legalize our love
They're so concerned
That this love might infect us
They're so concerned
They want to protect us
Standards of decency
Condoms for H.I.V.
But what will protect us
>From prejudice and bigotry
Down at guilty party headquarters
It's always guilty party time
Down at guilty party headquarters
Passion is our only crime
