Two Cow Garage - Let the Boys Be Girls lyrics

We are the sons and daughters of children We're all just figuring it out as we go We were born to fill a void inside our confused parents And then we're left here to die all alone And then we found out god was a knock-knock joke When we answered the door, there was nobody home Aren't you glad I didn't tell you the nonsense the fed me All about forbidden fruit And then they sent us off to schools, and factories, and wars To teach us its okay to die, as long as we're poor Then you tell me not to tread on you In the land of the free and the home of the depraved These are the things, these are the things they never tell you These are the things I've had to learn on my own, all alone So let the boys be girls and the girls be boys We can all fall in love, we can all get destroyed We don't need old, rich, white men to tell us Who we can kiss goodnight 'cause we can listen to Slayer or we can't just get stoned We can teach ourselves it's okay to be alone We can start our own bands in our basements We can break up citing creative differences These are the things, these are the things they never tell you These are the things I've had to learn on my own All on my own [x9] So let's forget world wars, and government crooks We can write our own novels, and history books We can call this a new beginning We can write our own soundtrack This time around It's gonna sound like Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba Ba-dee-dah, ba-dee-dah Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba Ba-dee-dah, ba-dee-dah So let's forget world wars, and government crooks We can write our own novels, and history books We can call this a new beginning We can write our own soundtrack This time around
