No Better Than Me
A Misconception About “Curly Fries”
And so it turns out that I am a homo
The fourth of July and Halloween combo
The cooked spaghetti my grandma serves well
That’s why the only playlist I have is Adele’s
How was I supposed to know that my arrow’s not straight?
It’s an accident, that I find my gender really great
This was not planned, nor was it expected
For you see now my life is completely affected
Everyone assumes that I’m subscribed to vogue
That somehow I turned out as a stylish rogue
That I listen to musicals, and walk in the park
And that like Canadians, I’m scared of the dark
Now people expect me to be a pitcher or batter
And if I say I don’t watch sports, they say, “that’s typical, don’t bother!”
And for some weird reason, they think I’m attracted
To everyone I meet that I somehow reacted
They ask me how many partners I have in a week
They get shock when I say, “Well my sex life is bleak”
They think that I’m promiscuous and sex-obsessed
And monogomy is a word that I must detest
I must be delicate and weak, with my glutes a bit sore
From the pilates class I took to balance my core
And the best of all things, I’m off to kill marriage
That I’ll cause the extinction of every lineage
And as it turns out I am REALLY gay
My future will have me growing mellow someday
Just like you, and your friends, your husband or wife
Except what I do with myself won’t interfere with your life
So I’ll put in my dollar where your mouthpiece would be
So just shut up, dear friend, you’re no better than me
