A Strange Loop - Second Wave Lyrics

2022 Broadway
A Strange Loop the Musical - Second Wave Lyrics

Performed by Larry Owens (Usher). The song is written by Michael R. Jackson.

USHER:
I don't have AIDS
And I don't care about marriage
And I will never be pushing
A loud-ass baby around in a carriage

No, I'll just walk around with a scowl on my face
Like I'm Betty Friedan
Because the second wave feminist in me
Is at war with the dick-sucking black gay man

Who's not looking for now
As much as fifteen years later
And so the Grindr crowd
Turns me into a chronic stay-at-home masturbator

When I wanna go out on a Saturday night
I don't feel that I can
Because the second wave feminist in me
Is at war with the dick-sucking black gay man

So I fall outside of the norm
Cause I burn my bra to keep warm
While most of my brethren swarm
To Beyonce and Rihanna
And bareback and felching and so on

But they won't get AIDS
Cause now they're taking Truvada
And I don't know what to say
So I stay in my corner, and I just say nada

And watch them all do what they want
Without fear, without having a plan
Meanwhile, the second wave feminist in me
Is at war with the dick-sucking black gay man

So nobody cums on my chest
And I come off sounding repressed
But maybe that's all for the best
If I want something deeper
And someone who thinks I'm a keeper

And who can understand
My long hesitation
And who will take my hand
And help me undo this polarization

And lets me curl up with Charlene, Mary-Jo, Julia and Suzanne
Until the second wave feminist in me
Ends the war with his dick-sucking black gay man
