lyrics

There’s an evil spirit in this city
There’s a dirty feeling in plain view
The monsters walk around in masks so pretty
They put you in those clothes, and then they blame you

She never knew what she did wrong, she never knew what she did wrong
She never knew what she did wrong, well we never knew what she did wrong
But when the moon rises in the night, we’ll ride

Like whores on horseback, we will be the light
Waiting in the night to fight back
We’ll ride this town until the streets are clean, of hate and bigotry
We will be the light, we will take the time
We’ll hold up your reflections for you
Like whores on horseback, we will be the light

The monsters say we’re faggots against nature
They say we got a deviant agenda
But they’re the ones inciting violent behaviour
They’re the ones trying to criminalise our gender

He never knew what he did wrong, He never knew what he did wrong
He never knew what he did wrong, well we never knew what he did wrong
But when the moon rises in the night, we’ll ride

Like whores on horseback, we will be the light
Waiting in the night to fight back
We’ll ride this town until the streets are clean, of hate and bigotry
We will be the light, we will take the time
We’ll hold up your reflections for you
Like whores on horseback, we will be the light


I sit here atop this pyramid, of privilege I was born into
I sit here and count my privilege, white cis male straight and English-speaking too
I’ll preach against their privilege until misogyny’s a meaning that we don’t know
Until white’s just a colour in the rainbow
Until misogyny’s a meaning that we don’t know
Until there’s not a single shame that we won’t show

Well we never knew what we did wrong
‘Cos we never did did nothing wrong
And the moon’s still rising and we’re taking back the night

Like whores on horseback, we will be the light
Waiting in the night to fight back
We’ll ride this town until the streets are clean, of hate and bigotry
We will be the light, we will take the time
We’ll hold up your reflections for you
Like whores on horseback, we will be the light, oh
