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
