Would it be easier if I was a guy
or made my teeth shine and smiled all the time .
Perhaps I should workout my body to fit
the sexual images you'd like to reap
Act like a rockn'roll star just to keep
your mind entertained long enough to go deep
Shoot off some fireworks, put on a show
to hide that I'm poor cause my pay is too low
Pretend to be totally different from you
and never reveal all the laundry I do
Maybe if I never said something wrong
controlled every move you might put down upon
Perhaps if I followed the trend of the day
or tried hard to StayInTheBox anyway.

Would it be easier if I was a guy
or did lots of drugs and drank lots of wine
Turned into a prostitute, pleased every wish
and offered my self on a plate like a dish
Perhaps if I never banged my own drum
pretended to be just a puppet real dumb
Repeated each beat, every soundbite I heard
or challenged the leader and guided the herd
If I lied and pretended that I truly know
exactly what way is the right one to go
Maybe if I had a crowd big enough
you'd show a greater respect for my stuff
Perhaps if I claimed to be after the fame
or tried hard to stay in the box anyway

Would it be easier if I was a guy
or just not an introvert and mingled all night
Perhaps if I played all the gatekeepers game
and kissed every ass with a big enough name
Gave you the drama queen, sold you the shock.
entered the scene as a provocative cock
Filled all the papers with headlines 'bout me
recklessly living the stage mommy's dream
Gave away all I created for free
and never mention it was channelled through me
Maybe if I chose a political cause
and wrote lyrics about humanity's flaws
Perhaps if I took the test to prove that I'm sane
or tried hard to stay in the box anyway
