"Speak Of The Devil" lyrics

"Speak Of The Devil"

I wish I met my grandma when she
Was my age, was my age, was my age
I would've taught her and her daughter
Not to hate, not to hate, not to hate

Not to fear what they don't know
Long before they know me
As I am, as I am, as I am
Now all that they see is their baby
Shaking hands, shaking hands with the Devil

Speak of the Devil, she
Just now messaged me
She said she misses me
And hopes I'm doing fine
Don't wanna change your heart
Just wanna change your mind

That's why I wish I knew my grandpa
When he was a kid, just a kid, just a kid
He would've loved RuPaul and Frog and Toad
Hell, he might've even read a book or two or three
Or four about Stonewall

I'd have said "ally"
Then we would laugh and dance
And skip into the sunset
Instead, all they see is their baby
Sinning left and right
At best, they see a space cadet

I don't know how to say it any other way
I love my family and I hope they're doing fine

Don't wanna change your heart
Just wanna change your mind
About queer people
