Don't ask, don't tell Is what they say To silence, to quell The burning passion of love untrusted And the timeless urge to not get busted Don't ask, don't tell Is how the bible holds sway Over the mind of man From ancient Rome to today Don't ask, don't tell Rings deaf in these ears It comes from cowards' tongues And exposes their fears Because if they ask Then they'll know for sure That Marines are fucking Marines And there is no cure And if they tell Then their own desires would come to light How they wish they could watch Rather than fight
