Stonewall 1969 Songtext

Stonewall New York
June 1969
Historic run in
In the name of free love

Was a bar in the heart of New York
Where the queer could meet
Faced harassment from the people
Who were wearing a shield

And all the men with the police clubs
Dressed in black
Get down on your knees
With your hands on your back

And some boys inside were girls
And some girls were boys
They fought for their rights
We heard their voice


And one night with a rain of cops
Right at Stonewall Inn
Faced resistance from the people
We were told lived in sin

And all the men with the mellow voice
Pushed them back
Got their hands on the wheel
And they ain′t looking back

Many victims were caught
Many were on the run
Kept their hands on the ground
Under the weight of the law

And all the men with the mellow voice
Pushed them back
Got their hands on the wheel
And they ain't looking back

Because we know love is not a crime
We wear pink all the time
And is not just to shine

And I know a man
Who is not as he seems
You can′t hear it in his voice
But you can tell it by his dreams
