lyrics

If in 1944, you were a nazi
And I'd been born like my great-grandfather
A jew in Germany
Well I can say with my straightest face
I'd love you just the same
You took my life, my rights, away
Now will you take-
my name?

I left my side of this couch
I was in your Palestine
And if this land is holy does it matter if it's yours or mine?

I tip my hat to you
A southern belle in white
And even though I'm colored, I thought we could see eye to eye

Yeah girl you'd look so tight
In a full body veil
Lovely extremist girl, I'm a dirty infidel

So break me down
Curse my name
In a world of hate, my love for you-
remains.

We look just like Korea
When our two belts touch
You're North, I'm South baby, but the border don't matter much

And if you joined the Westboro's
Misguided, hateful tale
Well, then I'd go gay just so we could meet in hell

Oh, break me down
Curse my name
In a world of hate, my love for you-
remains.

You could kick me, kick me
When I'm down
My lips won't make a sound unless you-
Kiss me, kiss me
Like you mean it now
Our love makes the world go 'round
(come around)

I've never been so sure about anything in my life
Thank god you're a feminist and you fight for something right
And one day you might hate me, and that'll be alright
Cuz even though my body might, my love for you can't die
