Homophobes Are Just Mad Cuz They Can't Get Laid
Propagandhi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's your clique and right or wrong you won't be left behind, but you're weak.
Equality's your trip when all your friends agree,
But freedom's just not hip when it's of sexuality, so you hate.
I hope I live to see the day when you sexually repressed hatred is finally washed away.
It seems that you're trying to prove it to yourself--build up those defences,
You're just like everybody else.
You wave your fist like you wave your fucking flag and you'll prove it to me now: you're no 'fag'.
But that's fucking weak (or, as regal thought it said for 8 years: "so we fight!")
The lyrics to Propagandhi's song "Homophobes Are Just Mad Cuz They Don't Get Laid" are a commentary on the bigotry and fear often directed towards the LGBTQIA+ community. The opening line, "Nothing I can say will change your little mind," suggests a sense of futility in trying to reach those who are homophobic. The song suggests that those who hold homophobic views do so because they are "sexually repressed" and unable to come to terms with their own sexuality. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is desperately trying to prove to themselves and others that they are not gay, often resorting to violence and aggression as a means of doing so.
The chorus of the song expresses a hope that one day, the hatred and bigotry directed towards the LGBTQIA+ community will be washed away. The song then turns its attention back to the homophobic individual, suggesting that they are not unique in their fear and repression, but are "just like everybody else."
The final lines of the song, "You wave your fist like you wave your fucking flag and you'll prove it to me now: you're no 'fag'. But that's fucking weak," suggests that the use of violence and aggression to prove one's masculinity or heterosexuality is ultimately a flawed and ineffective strategy.
Overall, "Homophobes Are Just Mad Cuz They Don't Get Laid" is a powerful commentary on the damaging effects of homophobia and the struggle for LGBTQIA+ equality.
