Who's Coming Out

Who's Coming Out

A dark parody/rewrite of the Marvin Gaye classic What's Going On

For all the gay stars still in the closet in Hollywood

Hollywood, Hollywood, there's far too many of you denying
Movie stars, movie stars, there's far too many of you lying
You know you've got to find a way
To come on and admit who you really are here today, hey

Agents, agents, you don't need to discriminate
You see, cover-ups are not the answer, for only love can conquer your fear and hate
You know you've got to find a way
To let them be free to admit who they really are here today, oh

Picket lines-writers-and picket signs-writers
Don't punish them-writers-with misunderstanding and brutality-writers
Talk to them-writers, so they won't be afraid to tell us
Oh, who's coming out, who's coming out, who's coming out, who's coming out
Yeah, who's coming out, who's coming out, who's coming out
Ah-ay-ay-ay-ay
On out, on out
Who's coming out

Preachers, preachers, you all think they're so wrong
Oh, but who are you to judge them
Simply because they would rather love then be alone
Oh, you know you've got to find a way
To show them some understanding and lover here today, oh oh oh

Picket lines-haters-and picket signs-haters
Don't punish them-with such brutality-haters
Come on, talk to them-haters-so you can see-haters
That there's nothing wrong
Now that they are ready to come clean and tell us
Who's coming out
Who's coming out
Who's coming out
Yeah
Who's coming out
Tell us
Who's coming out
I wanna know right now
Who's coming out
Oooooh that's right
Enquiring minds want to know
Who's coming out
