It's a song that is trying to remove people's bigoted views on anything that's not the accepted norm
lyrics
starlight star bright
first star I see tonight
wish I may
wish I might
have this kiss, a gift tonight
I’m just a stick
Lost in the faggot
I’m only your kid
No matter how tragic
And when it’s cold outside
I still wear my sweater
Although I roll the die
My will feels no better
I hardly ever
I’m a thousand dollar bullet
A thousand dollar bullet
I’m a thousand dollar bullet
And I never miss
There's entirely too much prejudice
aimed toward the gays
it's not simply a phase
or choice of taste
it's the fabulous way they are
like the way the stars
dance through the sky
or a beautiful day
on a magical high
swelling inside
riding the wave
yelling with pride
flying through shades
of color so grey's
covered with rays
revealing the feelings
true lovers display
shining a beautiful light seen for miles
the awing beam of a smile's
a powerful thing
causes teams greatest rival's
tower to lean
like flowers who bring
happiness home
hours can seem
like minutes have gone
the cynics who spawn
feelings of hatred
mimic the dawn
they started their day with
we must escape it
the prison we're in
we're so beautiful naked
all women and men
who can pretend
they don't recognize beauty
there's no need to repent
for refusing their duty
you represent
what you feel is suiting
who are you to condemn
someone else’s recruiting
how can their shoe string
affect how you walk
why aren't we removing
direct bigot talk
why do we stalk
what we won't understand
line bodies in chalk
for a biblical plan
written by man
scripted to damn
anything different
a sick little scam
the channel, needs to change
the shame is just too painful
watching the same fools
ramble and blame
the way the infallible “God” wired someone on "choice"
yet scared little boys
are just one of the perks
how does that work
certainly, I'm not alone
thinking the tone,
can be quite piercing
damaging hearing
searing my ears
as fears constantly cripple society
they lied to me
to be finally free
we must stop denying
the rising sun
of a wonderful tomorrow
it's time to take big swallow
and accept one another
as the brothers and sisters we are
I try to be big
When my legs are plastic
And I would give up my rib
But that’s phony magic
And with my hopeless eyes
I see stormy weather
Although the rope is tied
I’m free on my tether
I’m so whatever
I’m a thousand dollar bullet
A thousand dollar bullet
I’m a thousand dollar bullet
And I never miss
starlight star bright
first star I see tonight
wish I may
wish I might
time to flip the script and fight
