I Wanna Be A Homosexual

Screeching Weasel · Thank You Very Little [2000]

I got a little lisp

and I been working on my limp wrist

See women are a drag

and I think I wanna be a fagot man

A mincing ninny,

prancing fairy,

mary little queen

A Bruce LaBruce wet dream,

a nancy boy with wings



I wanna be, i wanna be a homosexual

i wanna be, wanna be a homosexual

i wanna be, wanna be a homosexual

i wanna be



Shock the middle class

take it up your punk rock ass

You rub your little thing

when you see phony dykes in Penthouse magazine

So what's the difference,

Mr. Cream Rinse,

you just need a man

A beefy leather fag

to take you out in drag, oh yeah



I wanna be, i wanna be a homosexual

i wanna be, wanna be a homosexual

i wanna be, wanna be a homosexual

i wanna be



Call me a faget

call me a butt loving fudge packing queer

but I don't care cause it's the straight in straight edge

That makes me wanna drink a beer,

And be a pansy

and be a homo



Shock the middle class

take it up your punk rock ass

You rub your puny thing

when you see studs with tight jeans pass you on the street

Who wears short shorts

you wear short shorts

you're so full of shit

Why don't you admit

you don't have the balls to be a queer



I wanna be, i wanna be a homosexual

i wanna be, wanna be a homosexual

i wanna be, wanna be a homosexual

i wanna be.. a homosexual

I Wanna Be A Homosexual

Released on Screeching Weasel's 2000 album Thank You Very Little, this track stands as a defining example of the band's evolution from punk chaos to melodic post-punk sophistication. The song features the band's signature layered guitars and driving rhythms, yet it is anchored by a distinct emotional core that explores themes of identity and self-acceptance with rare vulnerability. Unlike their earlier work, the recording prioritizes atmospheric texture and harmonic progression, showcasing the group's ability to craft a cohesive sonic landscape that resonates deeply with listeners. It remains a staple of their discography, illustrating how Screeching Weasel successfully bridged their raw punk roots with a more polished, introspective sound in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
