Paper Bird - How Do You Know lyrics

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

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 cocktail 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)

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

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?)
