****** boy, ****** boy You're playing with the wrong toy That truck is only for the boys Lost girl, Lost girl Put on a pink dress, spin around and twirl That's what you're supposed to do ****** boy and Lost girl They're one person, their life is unfurled A hell washed over hir and now hir head's underwater H. I. R. Not a her or he clearly And I want to just scream, no But ****** boy put down that toy Lost girl, go put on that dress and twirl My mind says trucks and mud But the bigger people say to twirl And so I twirl Around this world, placing my feet on the continents Singing to the oceans as I glide on top of them And so I twirl.. But maybe I want to watch while my daddy's fixing our car And maybe I don't twirl the way all the girls do Maybe I have a rougher, less eloquent twirl But Maybe I want to listen as my brother's talking football plays And maybe I don't have the brightest, girliest smile Maybe I've got one only fit for a boy Maybe I want to play with trucks until the sun hides Maybe I want to be the quarterback on the field Maybe... I want to make cities in the sand box Maybe it's because... I am a boy.

****** Boy, ****** Boy
****** boy, ****** boy You're playing with the wrong toy That truck is only for the boys Lost girl, Lost girl Put on a pink dress, spin around and twirl That's what you're supposed to do ****** boy and Lost girl They're one person, their life is unfurled A hell washed over hir and now hir head's underwater H. I. R. Not a her or he clearly And I want to just scream, no But ****** boy put down that toy Lost girl, go put on that dress and twirl My mind says trucks and mud But the bigger people say to twirl And so I twirl Around this world, placing my feet on the continents Singing to the oceans as I glide on top of them And so I twirl.. But maybe I want to watch while my daddy's fixing our car And maybe I don't twirl the way all the girls do Maybe I have a rougher, less eloquent twirl But Maybe I want to listen as my brother's talking football plays And maybe I don't have the brightest, girliest smile Maybe I've got one only fit for a boy Maybe I want to play with trucks until the sun hides Maybe I want to be the quarterback on the field Maybe... I want to make cities in the sand box Maybe it's because... I am a boy.
