All the good people down by the sea
loving each other, a place to be free.
Anita Bryant says, “I want you all to disappear,
go back in the closet to live in fear”.
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do?
“Save the children”, that’s what we say
before Anita leads them all astray.
Let them grow up healthy and strong,
whoever they love, it is not the wrong
Singing:
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do? Oh…
Oh, what are we going to do? Oh…
God in the… God is up in the air.
They love the people everywhere.
They say, “Be haqppy, do what you like,
Everything’s going to be alright”.
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do?
Oh, what are we going to do?
Sisters and brothers, we’re gonna struggle,
In solidarity, we stop this trouble.
We’re gonna make love, we’re gonna fight,
We’re gonna keep all our human rights.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh, that’s what we’re going to do.
Oh…
