“androgynous”

(Westerberg)
Let it Be, Twin/Tone Records, 1984

Here come Dick, he’s wearing a skirt
Here comes Jane, y’know she’s sporting the chain
Same hair revolution
Same build – evolution
Tomorrow who’s gonna fuss

And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous

Don’t get him wrong and don’t get him mad
He might be a father, but he sure ain’t a dad
And she don’t need advice that’ll center her
She’s happy with the way she looks
She’s happy with her gender

And they love each other so
Androgynous

Mirror image, see no damage
See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and Euro stalls
Will be laughed at
The way you’re laughed at now

Now, something meets Boy, and something meets Girl
They both look the same
They’re overjoyed in this world
Same hair revolution
Unisex evolution
Tomorrow who’s gonna fuss
And tomorrow Dick is wearing a skirt
And tomorrow Janie’s wearing a skirt
Future outcasts and they don’t last
And today, the people dress the way that they please
The way they tried to do in the last centuries

And they love each other so
Androgynous
