lyrics

It's not what I am and you never really asked me,
A permanent marker; Cross it out in Sharpie.
Just when I think I've got enough anxiety,
I can't self I.D. on my state I.D.

And all we want is recognition,
They say they'll act now but we know politicians,
Do you think that they listen, do they just pretend?
Will it ever end? Or am I destined to spend

The next decade of my life
Defined by a letter on my

Pass Port?
Do you ever really wonder what is that for?
Now I guess I'll never even pass for
Anything else until my last thoughts
Are consumed by dysphoria.

So your friends and your family know you now,
they know your name; they know your 'nouns.
So who gives a fuck what the people on top
think you are? But it does mean a lot
'coz if shit hits the fan, it will always come down to that page
and the letter that you can't change
when the only other option they gave was

Prefer not to say
Prefer not to say
Prefer not to say

Well you do prefer to say
and you'd prefer not to have to explain
to the man in the shop every time;
to the barman, the bouncer, the cop every time.

They see that you're next;
They breathe down your neck;
You know they suspect and
you'll know that they'll check

Does your body match your head
or are you better off dead?
Are you a man in a dress?
Are you an M or an F on your

Pass Port?
