AS IS

Talking about things
That we'll never say again,
Realising language
Is full of racism

And sexism
And homophobia
And patriarchy
And so and so on.

Our language is
Antiquated.
Don't take it as is -
Know what we say.

Then, in the kitchen,
On Britzer Damm,
Discussing gender
And discrimination.

Now, in Ennis,
Walk with pink hair.
But they don't understand
This distortion.

Our perception is
Manufactured.
Look for yourself,
And don't play these roles.

And you told me
That when you met me
You could not
See me as male.

And promise me
That you'll email me,
If you think this might
Be your last trip.

And talking about things
That we'll never do again,
The whole world is
Full of racism

And sexism
And homophobia
And patriarchy
And so on and so on.

Our world is
Antiquated.
Don't take it as is,
Take it all on.

Looking me up and down,
As if to say,
'Everything that you do
Is not okay with us.'

'Your clothes and your hair
Say what they say,'
I heard you say.

But T gives me support
And holds my hand
In front of all the cis dicks
Who try to repremand me for

My hair
And the clothes on my back
And even
The bike cog around my neck.

'The only good system
Is a sound system.'
Right now I could do with
Anarchist propaganda

And to be in Berlin,
In a bubble for a bit.
It's easy there.
Here every day's a fight

To keep myself
And explain myself
And be myself
And take them all on.

And some days I feel
I can't take them all on.
But fuck them -
I'll take them all on.

I shouldn't swear with 'fuck,'
It's not sex-positive.
But it's the last thing I've got
To show my disdain.

And talking about things
That we'll never say again,
The whole world
Is full of racism

And sexism
And homophobia
And patriarchy
And so and so on.

Our world is
Antiquated.
Don't take it as is -
Take it all on.
