In a Rolling Stone interview, Against Me! singer Laura Jane Grace says this anthemic track off 2014’s Transgender Dysphoria Blues concerns fears about coming out as trans:
You become more brave about presenting femme, but you’re still closeted, so you have nowhere to go… You end up in a weird motel...
[Verse 1]
All dressed up and nowhere to go
Walkin' the streets all alone
Another night to wish that you could forget
Makin' yourself up as you go along
[Chorus]

Who's gonna take you home?
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Who's gonna take you home?

[Chorus]

Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Who's gonna take you home?
Does God bless your transsexual heart
True trans soul rebel?
