When I was a kid
my mom and dad thought
I’d change my sex
that I’d rather be a girl
T-shirt as my wig, socks as my tits
Disney princess dresses
and my grandmas pretty pearls
I don’t wanna be a man
If man means power, to not empower others
Don’t wanna be a man
I don’t wanna be a woman
If woman means fighting to be an equal person
Don’t wanna be a woman
Can I just be human? Can I just be me?
Can I just be human?
It’s written in stone, religiously so
that we are meant to enter certain roles
I’ve read all your posts, and I know it hurts
To break the curse, my teenage rebels we could change the world
I don’t wanna be a man
If man means violence instead of showing kindness
Don’t wanna be a man
I don’t wanna be a woman
If woman means terror, to love in trial and error
Don’t wanna be a woman
Can I just be human? Can I just be me?
Can I just be human?
I don’t care who you are, just who you wanna be
Boy, man, woman or girl
Just be what comes naturally
If you don’t wanna be labeled make your own category
Or you can just be human
