Lyrics
Stonewall
(chorus)
(Stonewall, Stonewall, Stonewall Inn
Stonewall, Stonewall, Stonewall Inn
Stonewall, Stonewall, Stonewall Inn
Stonewall, Stonewall, Stonewall Inn)
Stonewall was brawling, destiny was calling
the year was 1969, the night was filled with tears and wine
the Village mood was somber, Judy performed her last number
the cops were feeling frisky, no harrassment seemed too risky
the girls would feel no danger , but their mood would soon be anger
the night would soon become violant, the gays would not remain silent
(chorus)
pigs stormed in without warning, tables started turning
bottles started flying, gays dignity would be trying
nightsticks began twirling, purses started swirling
the crowds were getting bigger, cops fingers were on their triggers
the queers attacks were unrelenting, overwhelmed, the pigs we're descending
to the bar the pigs retreated, they soon will feel defeated
(chorus)
the fighting would be ruthless, leaving some bruised and toothless
the pigs would act malicious, the gays reaction would be vicious
the fighting went on for hours, with screams from the crowd "gay power"
the news would soon unfurl, as "the hairpin drop heard round the world"
the night will forever be remembered, with a bash and parade each summer
every lez,gay,bi, and transgend, must continue the fight until the end
Stonewall was brawling, destiny was calling
