Bb majorBb
I grew up in an American town
Bb majorBb
No locks on the doors
When we all bedded down
Eb MajorEb
To sleep
Bb majorBb
Met a pretty young girl, and made her my bride
Bb majorBb
After church on Sundays, take the kids for a ride
Eb MajorEb
Down the street
C minorCm FF
Swimming holes, catching fireflies in jars
C minorCm FF
Spend the evening staring at the stars
Bb majorBb
Then the gays got married (gays got married)
C minorCm
And the plant shut down (plant shut down)
Eb MajorEb
And the crops dried up (the crops dried up)
FF
Everywhere around (Everywhere around)
Bb majorBb
Then the gays started kissin' (started kissin')
C minorCm
And the state said "Cool" (cool)
Eb MajorEb
And they made all the kids
FF
Be gay in school
Bb majorBb
'cause them gays got married (gays got married)
Bb majorBb
They announced it on TV
Jumped in my truck and slammed reverse
Eb MajorEb
I had to get to my family
Before the gay could get there first
Bb majorBb
Hauling ass down the interstate
In my throat I could my heart
Eb MajorEb
I didn't know how much time I had
Before all the orgies would start
Eb MajorEb
And they're grabbing guys like me
And they're pulling us out of our trucks
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
And they're kissing our lips, and nibbling our ears
And all sorts of sexy stuff
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
And they're taking us out to fancy hotels
And partying the night away
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
And they're saying how good we look in their shirt
FF
When we wake up the next day
Bb majorBb
No, I dare not look back
To see what's behind
G minorGm
They almost got me once
When I was surfing online
Eb MajorEb
But as strong and straight as I know I am
Every man can be pushed too far
FF
I've seen the devil, and the devil looks like
Mario Lopez in jean shorts washing his car
Bb majorBb FF
I pulled up into my house
Bb majorBb FF
And I quickly ran inside
Bb majorBb FF
I grabbed my lovely spouse
Bb majorBb FF
But I felt no love when I looked in her eyes
Bb majorBb FF
The gay had gone airborne
G minorGm
And I didn't make it in time
FF
My family unit
Eb MajorEb
Had already been undermined
Because
Bb majorBb
The gays got married (gays got married)
C minorCm
And released gay spores (gay spores)
Eb MajorEb
And all the straight people (all the people)
FF
Weren't in love no more (never love no more)
Bb majorBb
'cause them gays got married (gays got married)
Bb majorBb
Been in this bunker three long years
Canned food and recycled air
Eb MajorEb
Yet I shudder when I think about
What must be happening up there
Bb majorBb
A augmentedA radioactive scorched desertscape
Ruled by roving biker gangs
Eb MajorEb
With scary tattoos and muscley arms
Blue eyes and super cute bangs
G minorGm
So I'll seal myself off from everyone
FF
And hide here until I die
C minorCm
Confused and angry, sad and alone
FF
And I know the reason why...
Bb majorBb
'cause the gays got married (the gays got married)
C minorCm
The gays got married (the gays got married)
Eb MajorEb
The gays got married (the gays got married)
Bb majorBb
The gays got married
