Crowd full of prophets

With discount opinions

Everybody saintly

Till they lose the decision

Girls on the soapbox

Boys in the brochure

Both get packaged

By a loud little culture

She calls him useless

He calls her cruel

Both wear theories

Like borrowed jewels

Love in a slogan

Stuffed in the feed

Everybody equal

Till ego wants a seat

Yeah

Talk big

Sit small

Point fast

Miss all

Everybody nods

Then cheats the rule

Everybody wise

Till they look uncool

He says “easy”

She says “cute”

Both get loud

When the facts go mute

Uh

Say it neat

Then ruin the bit

Same odd species

Still selling the fit

Looking for girls who like boys who like girls with quick mouths

Who like boys with a bluff and a bend when it counts

Always should be someone who doesn’t look past you

Girls who like boys who like girls with quick mouths

Who like boys with a bluff and a bend when it counts

Always should be someone who doesn’t look past you

Yeah

No medals

No marble pose

Same odd species

Different clothes

Ba, ba, ba, ba-ba, ba

Ba, ba, ba, ba-ba

Hey

Ba, ba, ba, ba-ba, ba

Ba, ba, ba, ba-ba

Dodging the lecture

’Cause the lecture got rubbery

Everybody noble

When the facts turn blurry

One, two, three, four, five

Count all the labels

Some sound useful

Some fall off tables

Nothing gets solved

It just gets laminated

Everybody claps

When the point gets mutated

He gets boxed small

She gets sold bite

Both look allergic

To being polite

Très bizarre, darling

But the joke keeps breeding

No one gets taller

By making others kneel

Gender little blender

Spinning in the discourse

Everybody certain

Nobody checks source

Everybody nods

Then cheats the rule

Everybody wise

Till they look uncool

He says “easy”

She says “cute”

Both get loud

When the facts go mute

Uh

Flip that

Skip that

No one owns

The whole map

Looking for girls who like boys who like girls with quick mouths

Who like boys with a bluff and a bend when it counts

Always should be someone who doesn’t look past you

Girls who like boys who like girls with quick mouths

Who like boys with a bluff and a bend when it counts

Always should be someone who doesn’t look past you

Uh

No trophy

No sermon

Stop posing

We’re human

She can be clever

(Who says?)

He can be scared

(So what?)

She can be reckless

(Still counts)

He can be fair

(Still counts)

He can be gentle

(Let him)

She can be vain

(Let her)

Both can be brilliant

Both can be plain

Everybody bossy with a paper-thin thesis

Chewing up people into tidy little pieces

Girl gets praised then trapped in the praise

Boy gets trained to make a blank face

Flip it, twist it, dress it in grammar

Still just noise with a shiny little hammer

No one is higher, no one gets more

Respect is the bit we keep stepping over

Yeah

Talk big

Miss facts

Pose clean

Trip back

Girls are not better

(No)

Boys are not better

(No)

Girls are not better

(No)

Boys are not better

(No)

Less clever posing

More human together

Looking for girls who like boys who like girls with quick mouths

Who like boys with a bluff and a bend when it counts

Always should be someone who doesn’t look past you

(Don’t look past me)

Girls who like boys who like girls with quick mouths

Who like boys with a bluff and a bend when it counts

Always should be someone who doesn’t look past you

Looking for boys who like girls who like boys with no pose

Who like girls with sharp words and a chip on the nose

Always should be someone who doesn’t look past you

(No one above)

Boys who like girls who like boys with no pose

No one below

Same odd species

Trying to grow

Girls are not better

Boys are not better

Less clever posing

More human together
