The British Police are the best in the world
I don't believe one of these stories I've heard
'Bout them raiding our pubs for no reason at all
Lining the customers up by the wall
Picking out people and knocking them down
Resisting arrest as they're kicked on the ground
Searching their houses and calling them queer
I don't believe that sort of thing happens here
Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way
Pictures of naked young women are fun
In Titbits and Playboy, page three of The Sun
There's no nudes in Gay News our one magazine
But they still find excuses to call it obscene
Read how disgusting we are in the press
Telegraphs, people and Sunday Express
Molesters of children, corruptors of youth
It's there in the paper, it must be the truth
Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way
Don't try to kid us that if you're discreet
You're perfectly safe as you walk down the street
You don't have to mince or make bitchy remarks
To get beaten unconscious and left in the dark
I had a friend who was gentle and short
He was lonely one evening and went for a walk
Queerbashers caught him and kicked in his teeth
He was only hospitalised for a week
Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way
So sit back and watch as they close all our clubs
Arrest us for meeting and raid all our pubs
Make sure your boyfriend's at least 21
So only your friends and your brothers get done
Lie to your workmates, lie to your folks
Put down the queens and tell anti-queer jokes
Gay Lib's ridiculous, join their laughter
'The buggers are legal now, what more are they after?'
Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way
The Tom Robinson Band was a British rock band active from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Founded in 1976 by singer, songwriter and bassist Tom Robinson (born June 1, 1950, in Cambridge, England), the band achieved considerable success thanks to its energetic sound and the social themes addressed in their songs. Robinson, known for his political and social commitment, distinguished himself as a dissenting voice in the British music scene of the time. The Tom Robinson Band released several successful albums, including "Tom Robinson Band" (1977) and "Power in the Hand" (1978), which helped define the sound of progressive punk rock. Among the band's most famous songs are "Glad to Be Gay", a song that openly addressed the theme of homosexuality, and "War Baby", an anti-war anthem. The Tom Robinson Band disbanded in 1981, but their musical legacy continues to be appreciated by fans of British rock.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
