about

A song for everyone who lives in a world beyond "male" and "female".

lyrics

They told me when I started school
I had to join a line.
There's one for girls and one for boys
I asked them which was mine.
They asked me if my mother raised
A daughter or a son,
They sent me to the corner, where
I made a line of one.
And the line for the girls was pretty pretty pink,
And the line for the boys was blue.
There's another line for everyone else,
The line for me and you.

Some people have a mind that's small
A mind to give them trouble
with miniskirts and stompy boots
and lipstick on my stubble.
You tell me I'm confused about
the person I should be.
The only one confused is you.
I know that I'm me.
And the door for the girls is pretty pretty pink,
And the door for the boys is blue.
There's another door to the outside world,
The door for me and you.

Now if you thought your business is
to label me or guess
the sort of thing I keep beneath
my trousers or my dress:
it's not your place to ask about
the contents of my pants,
unless I take you home to bed...
and, sweetie, not a chance.
And the world for the girls is pretty pretty pink,
And the world for the boys is blue.
There's another world for everyone else,
The world for me and you.
