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 hasn't rung by midnight
|
It's over tonight
|
|
If someone tried, you'd realize
|
It's just a boy or a girl
|
It's not the end of the world
|
|
Piles of toast and broken promises
|
Among the books and pens and reading glasses
|
It seems there's no escape from the humdrum
|
It's over and done
|
|
If someone tried, you'd realize
|
It's just a boy or a girl
|
It's not the end of the world
|
If someone cried, you'd sympathize
|
It's just a boy or a girl
|
It's 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 we'd all deserve it somehow
|
|
But if someone tried (you'd realize)
|
You'd realize (and sympathize)
|
It's just a boy or a girl
|
It's not the end of the world
|
If someone cried (you'd sympathize)
|
You'd sympathize (and realize)
|
It's just a boy or a girl
|
It's not the end of the world
|
It's not the end
|
