Boys Will Be Girls Songtext
von Francis Aaron

A man cannot become a woman
Any more than a man can become a bat - fact
Yet these crackpots will stop at nothing
So of course I′m gonna catch a ton of flak
Look: even if a man self-identifies as a bat
Adapts his swagger and acts oddly
Even if he's utterly convinced he′s a bat
And believes he's a bat trapped in a man's body
To the extent that he fits artificial webbed-wings on his back
And lives a nocturnal lifestyle
In a cave hanging from the ceiling
Even if he sleeps perched upside down
Even if he somehow installs a nifty interface
To navigate the world via echolocation
Feeds on a diet of fruit and insects
And blood (On special occasions)
In order for all the world to recognise him as a bat
He gives his fake wings a flap
Sorry to break it to you...
But still - this does not make him a bat


Because: a bat - is a bat
And that - is a fact
Question: can a bat be a bat
Whilst at the same time - not be a bat?
No - he′s either a bat, or he′s not a bat!
And he can't transform at the drop of a hat
And if I voice a doubt
Nor is it "batophobic" to point this out
I′m somewhat perplexed that I even have to say this
Nevertheless it's an act
Listen: Batman is not a bat
He is a man, dressed as a bat
Likewise, man cannot magically become woman
Even if he seeks a life beyond
One cannot negate biology
With a wave of the magic reassignment wand
A transgender "woman" has no womb, no ovaries
XY chromosomes encode the genes
′She' does not have periods regularly
Plus will never experience pregnancy
Has no acquaintance with menstruation
Required a facelift to make him look like ′her'
Will never have to endure childbirth
And has only a surgically-carved makeshift vagina
Biologically - it's a falsehood
Thus it seems to me they′re bluffing
Psychologically - a man does not know
What it means to be a woman
Perhaps I′ve misunderstood?
Nonetheless I reckon this claptrap hasn't done ′em good
The man who self-identifies as a woman
Has but a man's grasp upon womanhood
That is to say: next-to-nothing
Yet, he′s sworn he's not gay!
Perhaps it′s an extravagant act of mimicry?
An extreme form of cosplay?
With that being said, if a man wishes
To live his life imitating a woman or a bat
If a man's in a muddle and is juggling his act
Finds himself puzzled and befuddled and detached
If a man's having trouble and is struggling with that
And when it′s all said and done he doesn′t have the stomach for the fact
And thinks that the remedy would be
To proclaim himself as a woman, or a bat - fine!
But if that man then demands in law
That I am to recognise him as a woman, or a bat
When he's blatantly neither a woman, nor a bat
Then what type of logic is that?
If it′s now been declared a diabolical act
To plainly state what is a biological fact - what then?
They have a lack of any proof
People! What happened to the truth?

Boys will be girls
And girls will be boys
Coming soon to a school near you
This is the new normal
Boys will be girls
And girls will be boys
"Gender's a social construct"
These folks have lost touch!

So how many goddamn genders are there?
And who dreamt up this empty drama?
They plumbed the depths and spun this web
And now biology is under threat
Courtesy of the "Gender Theory" herd
"Gender is a spectrum, haven′t you heard?
The concept of gender is "fluid""
REALITY CHECK - you are deluded!
But now these pitiful little fools
Wish to teach this piffle to kids in school
Madness in the individual is rare
But amongst herds - it is the rule!
When 50% of millenials think "gender's a spectrum"
I pity the next generation
Condemned to be raised by a bunch of eunuchs
Who slept through sex education
"But there′s a difference between sex and gender!"
When will you dimwits learn?
Up until 1955
Gender was naught but a linguistic term
"But our findings reveal
The traditional male and female binary is false
Plus, we've discovered that
The socially-constructed nature of gender is entirely at fault"
They talk of "findings" and "discoveries"
And these "findings" have been trending
But these people can't tell the difference between
Finding and inventing
And so they broke with reality
Enter: the age of social insanity!
I for one won′t be stroking their vanity
Now I′m told this is blasphemy
Because

These folks have lost touch...

But I too shall usurp the humanities!
I shall be deemed a pioneer when they hear me
I'm going to create my own field of so-called "research"
And I shall call it: - Age Theory
I′ve cottoned on to the clever tactics
That are draped in elegant gilding
There are 10-year-olds who act like geriatrics
And pensioners who behave like petulant children
Hence: age is a social construct
A hoax that they hoped would suppress us
The Gerontocracy constructed the concept of age
So as to "oppress" us
Throughout life we merely "perform" our age
It seems that we were out of sync
If I'm a 5-year-old who, on the inside, is 21
Why should I not be legally allowed to drink?
Our own age is something we ought to be free to designate
Allow me to demonstrate:
By the standards of the evil Gerontocracy
I′m seen as being 28
But I self-identify as a 75-year-old
Age is a spectrum!
I should get my free bus pass!
And the State should pay me my pension!
Social Justice! I demand my rights!
I want to choose my own birthday!
I'm an OAP in a boy′s body
You better watch what words you use in the workplace!
You need to use my pronouns!
I reject your request for more evidence!
I demand that henceforth I be referred to as
"Your Eminence"
My personal pronoun is: gwee
My possessive pronoun is: gwis
My reflexive pronoun is: gwimself
You better note down this list!
I self-identify as a septuagenarian
It's safe to say I may screech
If anybody points out that I'm not what I say I am
They′re engaged in - hate speech!
I call for the State to stop these tyrants!
To have them gagged and silenced!
They′re creating a toxic climate!
And that is an act of violence!
How dare they make such a vague suggestion
And question my "age-expression"
Away with the ageist bigotry!
Today I declare the age of - Age Fluidity!
"Oi, did you hear about the 60 year old
Who self-identified as a 6 year old
Enrolled himself back in primary school
And had the other kids entirely fooled?"
But how do we measure age?
"Hm, without sounding dumb
I thought it was by the amount of times
The earth has done a 360 around the sun?"
"No! Age is a spectrum"
If you acknowledge that, then it's changeable
I may look 60 but I′m 6 and a half
I'm transgen-erational!
The concept of age is an arbitrary constraint
And on this basis
I′ve been contemplating
Whether to declare myself - ageless
Age is a recent invention
Interwoven in a total conflux
There's no discongruity between a boy and a man
Man is a social construct"
They love this term: "social construct"
They think everything is a "social construct"
These ogres have told me to sew my gob shut
(I′m hoping I won't get locked up)
But if nature doesn't mould his conduct...
If it′s all a "social construct"...
Then it follows: the idea that everything is a "social construct"
Is - itself - a "social construct"!
They′ve socially constructed
The entire concept of "social constructs"!
And so the clock struck
I suspect these folks have lost touch
I revoke their broke rhetoric
What an absolute load of bollocks!
Has biology been abolished?
Has psychology been demolished?
Why do the facts not matter anymore?
And why, with the truth, do we decide to gamble?
They say that we live in the age of "post-truth"
And this nonsense - is a prime example!
