And So It Was Set In Stone Part I I have some expectations for you Would you like me to write them down? It might make it a little easier Dear, there’s no need to frown The doctor told me it’s a girl! Let’s make a sign! Let’s name her Pearl! Come, let us pour some red wine! Paint the walls with flowers! Make sure with no shade of blue We’ll work on it for hours I’m sure she’ll love it too! You are what we call a young lady You must groom yourself accordingly Leave no hair behind as you shave For this is how a lady must behave We shall teach you not to be the victim Rather than teach the oppressor not to oppress It’s all a part of our great system we have here I hope that you can respect that dear Part II I have some expectations for you Would you like me to write them down? It might make it a little easier Son, there’s no need to frown The doctor told me it’s a boy! Lets make a sign! Let’s name him Troy! Come, let us pour some red wine! Paint the walls with dinosaurs Make sure with no shade of pink We’ll work on it for hours I wonder what he’ll think! You are what we call a young man You must present yourself accordingly It’s not okay to cry in public Though that is a human trait Part III This is the way things are This is the way you are It’s not like we can fight it It’s not like we’d get far So we’ll continue with the signs Let everyone rejoice We’ll always drink our delicious red wine And leave no child With a choice.
