letra de one of the enemy - romanovsky & phillips
(this song was suggested to me by a high school teacher who said
that being unable to defend h-m-s-xuality makes him feel like he
is “one of the oppressors” in the eyes of his gay and lesbian
students. the enemy is everyone, gay or straight, who p-ssively
supports oppression by their silence.)
every day i go to work
i’m there to teach integrity
but how can i teach anything
with a closet door in front of me
’cause when i look out at the faces
one or two see through the lies
and when i look right back at them
i see the pain of my own youth in their eyes
and it breaks my heart
and it makes me feel ashamed to wear this mask
each day from 8 to 3
i can’t reach out
to the ones who need a friend
so i must pretend to be
one of the enemy
every year a hundred faces
staring blindly up at me
how i want to tell the truth
instead of teaching history
but for job security
i don’t dare say a word
and so my good intentions fade
and my thoughts of love are left unheard
and it hurts my pride
and i hate to have to hide myself away
each day from 8 to 3
i can’t reach out
to the ones who need a friend
so i must pretend to be
one of the enemy
to the boys who leave the girls behind
to the girls with more than boyfriends
on their minds
i can’t reach out
to the ones who need a friend
so i must pretend to be
i must pretend
maybe someday i’ll find a way
(some day soon i’ll find a way)
to comfort them (to calm their fears)
and let them know that things will change
if they can make it through these years
