(Verse 1)
At the Values Voter Summit, they gathered 'round,
With Trump, Conway, and Bannon, making quite a sound.
Anti-LGBT and anti-Muslim too,
Their rhetoric was harsh, but here's what they do.

(Chorus)
They fight transgender rights, with tactics so sly,
Dividing the community, spreading fear and lies.
Using pseudo-science, debunked and untrue,
Claiming to protect, but it's just a ruse.

(Verse 2)
They target schools, with policies to fight,
Fairfax County's nondiscrimination in their sight.
Non-religious arguments, they try to frame,
Separating the "T" from the LGBT name.

(Chorus)
They fight transgender rights, with tactics so sly,
Dividing the community, spreading fear and lies.
Using pseudo-science, debunked and untrue,
Claiming to protect, but it's just a ruse.

(Bridge 1)
Coalitions form, with diverse voices in tow,
Hands Across the Aisle, their numbers grow.
Using progressive rhetoric, they aim to unite,
But their mission is clear, to oppose trans rights.

(Verse 3)
Misleading science, they bring to the fore,
Debunked claims and fears, they try to restore.
Framing their stance, as protecting the weak,
But their true intentions, are far from unique.

(Chorus)
They fight transgender rights, with tactics so sly,
Dividing the community, spreading fear and lies.
Using pseudo-science, debunked and untrue,
Claiming to protect, but it's just a ruse.

(Bridge 2)
Panelists discussed, with fervor and zeal,
Strategies to fight, making their appeal.
To parents and schools, they spread their fear,
Hoping to make transgender rights disappear.

(Verse 4)
They spoke of bathrooms, and locker rooms too,
Using scare tactics, to push their view.
Claiming to protect, women and kids,
But their arguments, are on shaky grids.

(Chorus)
They fight transgender rights, with tactics so sly,
Dividing the community, spreading fear and lies.
Using pseudo-science, debunked and untrue,
Claiming to protect, but it's just a ruse.

(Bridge 3)
They aim to divide, the LGBT,
Hoping to weaken, the community.
By separating the "T", from the LGB,
They think they'll win, but we'll see.

(Verse 5)
Their tactics are clear, their mission defined,
To oppose transgender rights, with strategies aligned.
But knowledge is power, and now you know,
The tactics they use, and the seeds they sow.

(Chorus)
They fight transgender rights, with tactics so sly,
Dividing the community, spreading fear and lies.
Using pseudo-science, debunked and untrue,
Claiming to protect, but it's just a ruse.

(Outro)
So here's the story, from the summit that day,
A fight against rights, in a deceptive way.
But knowledge is power, and now you know,
The tactics they use, and the seeds they sow.
