paper bird (at) - how do you know lyrics

[verse 1]
how do you know it’s a boy or a girl?
(it’s a boy or a girl)
how do you know the body tells you how the brain will work?
oh, how do you know which songs it will sing?
(oh, the songs it will sing)
the blight’s curiosities: the boy, the girl, the thing, oh!
how do you know it all works like you think it does?
(it works like it does)
and if it would work, at all what’d be the use of those senseless wars?
they’re putting up funerals every fortnight
(every fortnight)
i know you’ve gotta get used to it, but with me that’s all right

[verse 2]
what would you do if it all wouldn’t matter?
(if it all wouldn’t matter)
you could throw away those pink skirts and dark blue sweaters
they will take you for what you really are
(what you really are)
and not havе the world shape your image bеtween
tv shows and c+cktail bars
there’s something you’re afraid of
(there’s something, something, there’s something you’re afraid of)
oh yeah, there’s something you’re so afraid of
(there’s something you’re so afraid of)
[verse 3]
so pin it all down in a term you heard somewhere last week
make the partisan group of people you’d never dare to speak to mad
your kid’s portrait on celluloid and show it around, be proud
then put it in a drawer, don’t let it say anything
it might not fit in your systems
it might not fit in your systems
it might not fit in your systems
it might not fit in your systems
it might not fit in your systems

[outro]
ain’t this what they’re afraid of?
(ain’t this what they are afraid of? afraid of)
ain’t this what you’re afraid of? (this what they are afraid)
(they are afraid, afraid of)
ain’t this what we’re all afraid of? (what we’re all afraid)
(ain’t this what we’re all afraid of?)
