lyrics

I quit my job today
but i quit giving up a long long time ago
being an activist doesn't pay
still gotta pay the rent and utilities
somehow but i don't know

I’s reading the op-ed page today
a conservative priest just ripped me for advocating
safe sex for teenagers
he said this is god's punishment
we'll feel sorry for her tragedy but
she got what she deserves
i don't want your sympathy
i don't need your platitudes
this father's no different from my own father
so my friends and my family

why should i listen to you
you never listen to me
everyday i ask the same questions (same)
everyday i wonder what you'd think if you were me

call me if you have time

it's strange to see my old friends when they're out at night
maybe I'll take some time to travel
right now I'm just trying to keep things level
but sometimes i lose it

today is my birthday
I'm gonna be twenty and i'm HIV positive
i contracted it a year ago
you all have to understand that it's part of our reality
and the person next to you could be hiv positive
your lover could be HIV positive and they don't know
you have to be careful

every time i see my reflection i start crying
but i refuse to let you tell me my life is just dying
my will is strong but time has double meaning and it cuts like a knife
at the time i was diagnosed i'd only had three lovers in my life
why should i answer to you
you never answer to me
everyday i ask the same questions
every day i make big decisions
i'll deal with the consequences of my reality
i'm only telling you because no-one ever told me

In the meantime i stay healthy

my only regret is i'll never have a baby
i used to catch myself saying

maybe
