jude perl - the label song lyrics

well…
if a label’s helpful, you should use it
if a label’s helpful, you should definitely use it
sometimes labels are the key
to identify your identity
if a label’s helpful, you should use it

if a label makes you feel much safer
so you don’t have to explain things to your workmates or your neighbor
if that label helps define
who you are, and saves you time
if the label’s helpful, you should use it

but sometimes labels just cause intеrference
and somе people find them more of a hindrance
cause maybe you don’t fit in one group
you’re more complex than a can of soup
unless that label’s helpful, then don’t use it

when i was 9, i was sure that i was g+y
i wore baggy clothes, i was scared of men
and all the boys i liked told me i was g+y
but then one day i saw a vag
and i said that’s nice, but it’s not for me
and i hate to say it, it makes me sick
but i really do love me some d+ck
if that label gets you something you need
if the label’s accurate and it can help you succeed
if that label gets you the right medication
or assists you with your education
if the label’s helpful, f+cking milk the sh+t out of it

i was a music artist in my early 20s
but people wouldn’t buy it cause i wasn’t cool or s+xy
cause being s+xy and writing songs apparently
can’t occur independently
but it’s cool, ’cause i left that industry on good terms… mostly

so then i labeled myself a comedian
and a bunch of people were like, “nah, you’re not a comedian”
well i guess they’re right, what do i know
i’ve only written and performed 5 full length long comedy shows
i just thought that label might be helpful from a marketing perspective

(mouth trumpet solo)

well, sometimes i wake up and i’m a lady
and other days i wake up and i’m not so much lady
well i guess some call that gender fluid
right now i don’t need that label, so i don’t use it
the label doesn’t help me, i don’t use it
some labels might be true for you forever
you take care of those labels, cause they can hold your life together
there was a time you had to hide
that part of you, it’s life denied
but now there is no greater warmth or pride
when the world affirms who you are inside

a label might be true for you at one stage
but being open minded means allowing yourself to change
that same label that freed your heart
one day could be your prison bars
only use the label if it’s helpful
only use the label if it’s helpful
only use the label
only use the label
only use the label if it’s helpful
