Chumbawamba - Homophobia Lyrics

I never knew this song existed. Just as true now as ever.

that
cover

And we'll have a perfect understanding

this time not one nation against others, but an organisation trying to destroy all governments...


Up behind the Bus-stop in the toilets off the street
There are traces of a killing on the floor beneath your feet
Mixed up with the piss and beer are bloodstains on the floor
From the boy who got his head kicked in a night or two before

Homophobia
The worst disease
You can't love who you want to love in times like these
Homophobia
The worst disease
You can't love who you want to love in times like these

In the pubs, clubs and burgerbars breeding pens for pigs
Alcohol, testosterons and ignorance and fist
Packs of hunting animals roam across the town
They find an easy victim and they punch him to the ground

Homophobia
The worst disease
You can't love who you want to love in times like these
Homophobia
The worst disease
You can't love who you want to love in times like these

The siren of the ambulance the deadpan of the cops
Chalk to mark the outline where the boy first dropped
Beware the holy trinity - church and state and law
For every death the virus gets more deadly then before

Homophobia
The worst disease
You can't love who you want to love in times like these
(repeat 4 times)

Used to listen to chumba wumba in 95 and people would laugh at me. A few years later i bumped into the same people going nuts at tub thumping

Kto od Happysad?

Melduję się :) Zakochałam się w tym na jednym z koncertów z ostatniej trasy.

The new version would be about transphobia. Literally a thousand people per year get killed because they of not being a manly man, or a feminine woman. Brazil now with the monster

Karolina Tnt What?

HOMOPHOBIC AND PROUD

Cos ya gay

Narcissism Incarnate That’s a pathetic reason.

@MJ Truth r/wooosh

If u are gay you are gay lol

Epic troll mate, look at all those triggered libtards

Why is this not available on Spotify? Do they have a alternative reason?

And the girl who got her head kicked in.

Paix en ce monde que tout le monde vive heureux grâce à son amour et ses libertés 💙💙💙💚💛💜❤

Someone send this to Mike Pence

Hey people, does anyone know if there´s a genre or something for that kind of music? I mean musically - not music concerning any kind of issue. All I know is that it's from England. So if there's anyone who could help me I would be so glad.

Punk, folk punk or folk music

if you're homophobic, might I suggest shutting the fuck up and listen to shit you actually like, trolls.

Wonderful song, my step-dad told me about It when I came out. I love this song to bits, but that cover gives me a feeling of unease....

Space Pianist you’ve got a good step-dad

You used the wrong album cover.

Dan Najera they're all bad anyway

The album cover is explicit so they probably cant put it on youtube

Monique Heart’s laugh explicit? It’s just a rose the name of the band and the title of the album: anarchy....

@Hans hallo Nope, that's the placeholder album cover they use on streaming services. The real cover is a closeup of a woman giving birth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy_(Chumbawamba_album)

soo gud

It is the worst disease and its cause is simple fear and ignorance of typical backwards thinnking people of inbred small towns types, like from deliverance, and barbaric backwoods foreign third-worlders throwbacks whos ideology and ineilgence level is over four hundred years in the past, they are so ignorant and I hope they just become enlightened. Until then we should Boycot all ignorant hateful people and that is always Mexicans around here!

I love it! First time i heard this in 90's when I was in primary school (ca 13 yo.) No one knows Chymbawamba in these years in Polnad. ok not so many

Beware the holy trinity: church and state and law.

For every death the virus gets more deadly than before

I love chumbawamba...its best

Homophobia exists not only among right wingers and fundamental religious people any longer. Even among the so called left homophobia is on the rise, creepy.

Sochi, are you listening ?

@James Kurker You can get arrested for being gay in Russia and Russia is pretty ant-gay and I don't think that anyone can argue with that. I would not want to be gay and live in Russia because of it's backward views on homosexuality. 

@Paul L
OMG, i live in Russia, and you CAN NOT get arrested, there is no person in the country arrested for being gay!! There is no anti-gay laws here! You read it in the Internet and i live here and i can see better, no?

@James Kurker I must live in a parallel universe then, because when I watched BBC news they were showing how protesters were being arrested for protesting at the olympic games about gay rights. I would suggest you look it up but its on the internet so it might not be true. 

@Paul L
Don't let the television or the Internet fool you. I know a lot of gay people, there are gay doctors, gay teachers, gay politics etc. here in Russia and they live a happy life. Of course there are some people who don't like them, but i think every country has such people.

@James Kurker OK. I watched the news and they said there were problems because of gay protest marches. It was the BBC and it is a very good news channel so I usually trust what they say. I don't want to argue with you and you seem OK. Let''s move on......

Best little known/heard song ever! It deserves more attention!

I love the little intro's and outro's!
