#boysAreNoBananas

B.A.N.B. was originally written for a piece of theatre called "Defining (i) dentity oIo dentity oio dentity (I) dentity"

lyrics

B. A. N. B.

yesterday I had a pessimistic half an hour
the day before I had a masochistic half an hour
tomorrow I’ll have a melancholic half an hour but
today I’m just mad
today I’m just mad

anatomy is not destiny but none of this shit fits
I want to see your heart and you show me your tits
boys are no bananas and no bonobos either
blindness of the privileged and playboys give me the fever
but your tongue between my legs no matter what I got there
put your tongue between my teeth, I won’t bite it off and
I promise you that I am soft inside and outside
I promise you’ll never know me the way I know me now
when I put down the art, there is nothing but love there
when I take off my mask, there is nothing but art there
and when I break the law of anatomy
something might crack but something is free

yesterday, I had a pessimistic half an hour
the day before, I had a masochistic half an hour
tomorrow, I’ll have a melancholic half an hour but
today I’m just mad today I’m just mad

behind caged bodies are zipped up hearts
exit signs pointing towards solid walls
I see the blades that cut me
I don’t see the sheets that will cover me
of course, I can be whoever the fuck I want to be
as long as I’m ready to defend it against society
you can be whoever the fuck you want to be
as long as you’re ready to defend it against society

the enemy is everywhere but nobody sees it
though everyone can feel it every body can feel it
the enemy is everywhere
the system is smart
how can we infiltrate it
how can we heal it
where are the saviours to the trophies?
where are the heroines to protect me?
sometimes you can actually pretend things are fine
snd sometimes it will just stay a lie

gender role conflict
gender role stress
gender role conflict
gender role stress
gender role conflict
gender role stress
"we’re all born naked
and the rest is drag"
