Good morning! Crying,
shouting, and laughing—all that’s all right.
But won’t you have breakfast
and listen to the radio with me?
Good morning! Crying,
shouting, and laughing—all that’s all right.
Now, once we’ve had breakfast and radio,
let’s go somewhere far away.
Go! Walk—you’re a moving creature.
Go! Wail—you’re a feeling creature.
Religion and gender, skin color and heritage,
sexuality, work, age—a living creature
Good morning! Crying,
shouting, and laughing—that’s no problem.
Hey, don’t you think your face
looks a little funny in that photo?
Steady now!
Say it easily, forthrightly, directly:
“How about it?” “What do you think?”
“What’s your prejudice?” “Don’t have one?”
But we do! Me, or anybody else—we’re all animals.
I want to change, I want to change it.
Change it—Ahh
Go! Decide—you’re a thinking creature.
Go! You’re a killing creature.
It’s gross, so I don’t want it.
Disobey, and be torn to pieces.
I want love so bad, I’ll go crazy.
I just want to be happy.
I’ve accepted the things I cannot change.
Changing the things that we can—
Is that why the world
feels beautiful to you?
Now…
Go! Walk—you’re a moving creature.
Go! Wail—you’re a feeling creature.
Go! Decide—you’re a thinking creature.
Go, live, and march on now!
Defy them all!
Hear now—
Religion and gender, skin color and heritage,
Sexuality, work, age—a living creature
Ahh
Chastity and world-weariness, conflict, tears of death,
sexual desire, an era of peace, happiness—It’s your life
