    Story Behind the Song
    Fred Phelps is a baptist preacher from Kansas who began his picketing campaign at the funeral of a Wyoming college student named Mathew Shepard, who was beaten to death for being gay. Mathew was beaten by several drunk fratboys while walking home from a local bar. Jerry Falwell is a well respected person in the Christian community who, on the TV show "The 700 Club", blamed the "abortionists, feminists, the gays, lesbians" for the September 11th attacks (the sound clip heard before the song). He places blame on people who fight for rights that we as humans justly have. He even goes so far as to blame the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) for 9/11 as well, whose goal is to make sure that we keep our civil rights. This song goes out to people who think that they have the right to say how a person lives their life, or who they should love or have sex with, or that someone is wrong for the decisions that they have every right to make.

    Lyrics
    Why should anyone change the way they're living just to hide what they've been given
    Is sexual preference really that big of a deal to ashamed to (accept) the way you feel

    Oposition works through intimidation
    It's a fucked up trend thats sweeping the nation
    You say your angry and your fire is lit
    Well I hope you choke on your stomach from your own bullshit

    Educate yourself or shut the fuck up

    Cause everyone has the right to live thier life and I dont really think that they need your advise
    And we'll fight one time, and we'll fight two times, and we'll fight 3 times and we'll fight as many times

    As it takes for you to get the fucking picture
    How dare you lay your hands on someone whos gay
    Like some friends of ours once had to say:
    "Take everything you hide and put it on the outside"!
