Floods of tears and doors slamming
Stamping feet across the landing
Because of your obligation
To stay home and fight
Sitting down to a composition
Test the limits of your inhibition
If the phone hasnt rung by midnight
Its over tonight
If someone tried, youd realize
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
Piles of toast and broken promises
Among the books and pens and reading glasses
It seems theres no escape from the humdrum
Its over and done
If someone tried, youd realize
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
If someone cried, youd sympathize
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
At midnight in desperation
Imagine total teenage destruction
The Prophets all predicted extinction
The Virgin spoke in apparitions
And if it all came to pass now
You feel wed all deserve it somehow
But if someone tried (youd realize)
Youd realize (and sympathize)
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
If someone cried (youd sympathize)
Youd sympathize (and realize)
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
Its not the end
