Screwed By You

TransGriot Note: as the clock ticks down to the weekly broken promised ENDA vote we suspect ain't gonna happen because it's an election year, we get more frustrated as our trans cousins in Canada may be on the verge of getting comprehensive coverage in their nation's civil rights laws.

So yeah, time for another song rewrite. Fire up the iPod's and sing along with Moni's fresh new lyrics.

Screwed By You
Sung to the tune of 'Looking For You' by Kirk Franklin



For all the trans people in the struggle
If you think Congress has forgotten about you
It's an election year, you betcha
Let's go

Ain't got no car
Ain't got no house
Ain't got no job
So sorry, boo

Come one

I've been down so long,
I've been hurting so long,
With ENDA's passage we thought transpeeps would catch a break today
It was hard to see, delayed rights for me
I couldn't believe it would last always
But night after night, (Night after night, Night after night)
I pray Lord for the trans community
Then late at night I read in the blogging letters it's not gonna get better

(Chorus)
Don't cha know that
I'm tired of being screwed by you
Full civil rights nothing else will satisfy me
I need ENDA passed now, boo
If we work for change no one can take rights away from you

Life ain't so good to us
We had a mighty long wait
Pass ENDA now, boo
Come on

All my enemies, came at once for me
And some of them are peeps that we considered as our friends
All the while we knew
We had trans sellouts, too
We're no closer to trans rights than when we first began
HRC you are, (HRC you are, HRC you are)
You're not the civil rights org you claim to be
Wherever you are
I'll be picketing near you
NCTE screw you, too

(Chorus 2x)
Don't cha know that
I'm tired of being screwed by you
Full civil rights nothing else will satisfy me
I need ENDA passed now, boo
If we work for change no one can take rights away from you

Don't cha know that
I'm tired of being screwed by you
Full civil rights nothing else will satisfy me
I need ENDA passed now, boo
If we work for change no one can take rights away from you

Here we go now
Here we go now
Don't stop now
In the front now
Not the back now
Don't stop now
Here we go now
Let's lobby now
Ladies

Oh,oh Oh,oh,oh
That's for our struggle
Oh,oh Oh,oh,oh
That's for our pain
Oh,oh Oh,oh,oh
That's for unemployed trans people
Oh,oh Oh,oh,oh
Come on and sing it with us y'all

HRC you are, (HRC you are, HRC you are)
You're not the civil rights org you claim to be
Wherever you are
I'll be picketing near you
NCTE screw you, too


[Chorus 2x]
Don't cha know that
I'm tired of being screwed by you
Full civil rights nothing else will satisfy me
I need ENDA passed now, boo
If we work for change no one can take rights away from you

Don't cha know that
I'm tired of being screwed by you
Full civil rights nothing else will satisfy me
I need ENDA passed now, boo
If we work for change no one can take rights away from you

Oh,oh Oh,oh,oh (oh,oh,o)
Oh,oh Oh,oh,oh (oh,oh,o)
Oh,oh Oh,oh,oh (oh,oh,o)
Oh,oh Oh,oh,oh (oh,oh,o)
