Just Me (The Gender Binary Blues)

There's so much noise in the world today

For whatever reason we all get to have our say

But respect for which everybody begs

Is hard to find with people so concerned

With what's between our legs

Now in the past I've caused confusion, it's true

But what's the fun of living life pink or blue?

I say just tell 'em all to shut up and just be you

Now when I'm at the movies

And I'm standing in line

I might hear some guy shout out

Saying: Girl, you look fine

Well I may think it's rude

But that old attitude makes me laugh

Or if I'm on the phone

And I'm talking so bold

And that operator says to me

Ma'am, please, hold

Well I know it's my voice

It's never been a choice for me

Well I may sound like a dame

And my curves make 'em cry

But there is more man to me

Than meets the eye

No I'm not either or

What a bore, I'm just me

Now when I'm at the doctor

For little old check up

And he says I've marked the wrong box

And I wanna yell 'Step up! '

Well I take it in stride

It won't change what's inside of me

Or if I'm at airport security

And they send in some chick

To start pattin' me down

Until she notices my dic-tion

And my grammar correct, I am what I elect to be

Well you can call me uncouth

Call me in a pinch hitter

You can call me miss or mister

Just don't call me a quitter

I've got nothing to prove

Doll or dude, I'm just me

What does it matter if you're a girl or a guy

What good's a label do?

Don't let them tell you that it's do or die

I say buck up, they're the fuck up

Don't let them put the blame on you, ooh

We're both the beauty and the beast

We're the genie and the lamp

We're the tramp and we're the lady

Though I'm mainly just the tramp

Blowin' up the binary

I'm a stiletto on a size 12 shoe

Enjoy the show and stick around or screw

Yeah, there's nothing they can do

Darling, it's true, cause I'm just me
