Life is a Drag!
I wrote this song in support of drag performers everywhere! Drag is not dangerous, it’s a performance style that’s been around for centuries. I’m not a drag act but I can’t stand the way my fellow performers are being vilified and targeted lately, and that anger turned into this song.
Enjoy, and please support reasonableness and tolerance out there. Be excellent to each other!
Lyrics:
Now the world has it’s share of uptight busybodies
Who want everyone to act a certain way
They’re often getting mad and they’re always acting haughty
And they’d never indulge in a sense of play
But every mammal plays, it’s how we spend our the days
From the mighty horse’s neigh to the cat’s meow
And this playing hones our skills—and it sometimes pays the bills
These aren’t frills, you want to thrive? Well this is how
Life is a drag so let’s have some fun
Don’t be a nag, it doesn’t hurt anyone
The joke is on you if you don’t get the gag
Life. Is. A Drag!
Now to those we may offend, those who heartily contend
That the world is black and white, or pink and blue
Skip those duotones, use your rods and cones (those are in your eyes)
To see that other hues can get you through
There’s no need to be snooty there are many kinds of beauty
Many ways you can embrace your inner fox
So focus on the art, don’t concern yourself with parts
You really need to think outside the box
Life is a drag so just sing a song
Fly your own flag and you’ll find where you belong
You don’t need to know if I’m a doe or a stag
Life. Is. A Drag!
Some people lose their minds when they see us play
They threaten us and sound the alarm
They want to take control but at the end of the day
The hatred that their spewing is what’s doing all the harm
…6, 7, 8…
Life is a drag so live and let live
We’re not punching bags, we’ve got no _____ left to give
We’re fine as we are and that isn’t a brag
Life. Is. A Drag!
Don’t be afraid of what makes your tail wag
Life. Is. A Drag!
