What song feels like a personal anthem right now?

Honestly, this song always has. Even when I was religious. Even when I thought I was cis. Even now.

> Way back when the prophecies began
> Do you think they really had a master plan
> Or were they merely writing fable stories?
> I don't know but it has occurred to me
> The punishment that they threaten constantly
> It's only real if they could just convince me

They won't convince me. As someone constantly under threat by the most hateful of the religious, I already know who will kill me and how: the C-words who think it's OK to take away my health, my home, and my family. The C-words who put the families and kids in cages. The C-words sending their neighbors to El Salvador prisons.
