Get them Queers!

September 29, 2016

I saw a reference to a Pink Floyd lyric for 1979 and was just so dismayed at the turning of the years but also the vision that the lyrics had

 

Trump has called us all to stand up and be counted so he can sort us out. ​​ Pink Floyd had a vision back in the late 70’s about this (add your own minority):

Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way, 
I'd have all of you shot!

 

Pink Floyd​​ 

who was Floyd and

why was he pink?

Had it right

Up against the wall!

Get em up against the wall

how did they know

we would go this far?

that we would hate this much?

why did we not see too?

stand them up! ​​ Back up!

Identify yourselves

we need to know who you are

Well, my hand’s up, how about yours?
