Lyrics – 11. No No

Michael Callen
Tops and Bottoms Music (BMI)

From the moment we are born
and maybe even before
We are taught that we must choose
to be either/or
The pink and blue conspiracy
is lesson number one
And if you cross the gender line
of daughter or son
they say
No no no no, na
No no no no, na
No no no na no no.

Now they say that there can never be
exceptions to the rules
But if you ask me I would say
it’s them that are the fools
They waste all that energy
playing a woman or a man
Just take the best and leave the rest
and be all that you can
by saying
No no no no, na
No no no no, na
No no no na no no.

Boys will be boys, they say
and girls will be wives
Strangers and enemies
for the rest of their lives
What a waste!
Well the world it is a strange place
and gettin’ stranger every day
Now I’m not bitter, but all things considered
I sure am glad I’m gay
And me, I just do not believe
it has to be this way
And if you agree with me
just join me when I say
we say
No no no no, na
No no no no, na
No no no na no no.
