“I Didn’t Bake a Cake”
I didn’t bake a cake.
Of course, it’s not like they didn’t take
All the other pastries I created,
Like the ones they bought when the couple dated.
I just didn’t bake a cake.
I didn’t bake a cake.
But if I was a thug and tried to make
A getaway, and then got shot,
I’d be a hero, alive or not.
But I just declined to bake a cake.
Because I didn’t bake a cake,
The death threats are more than we can take.
We’re losing everything; we hide in fear.
The reason for the terror made perfectly clear:
I didn’t bake a cake.
You’d thought I was an abuser!
You’d thought I was a buyer and user
Of drugs…or women and children.
But I wasn’t. Now I’m facing prison,
All because I didn’t bake a cake.
