Stamping feet across the landing
Because of your obligation
To stay home and fight
Sitting down to a composition
Test the limits of your inhibition
If the phone hasn't rung by midnight
It's over tonight
If someone tried, you'd realize
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
Piles of toast and broken promises
Among the books and pens and reading glasses
It seems there's no escape from the humdrum
It's over and done
If someone tried, you'd realize
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
If someone cried, you'd sympathize
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
At midnight in desperation
Imagine total teenage destruction
The Prophets all predicted extinction
The Virgin spoke in apparitions
And if it all came to pass now
You feel we'd all deserve it somehow
But if someone tried (you'd realize)
You'd realize (and sympathize)
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
If someone cried (you'd sympathize)
You'd sympathize (and realize)
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end
Floods of tears and doors slamming Stamping feet across the landing Because of your obligation To stay home and fight Sitting down to a composition Test the limits of your inhibition If the phone hasn't rung by midnight It's over tonight If someone tried, you'd realize It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world Piles of toast and broken promises Among the books and pens and reading glasses It seems there's no escape from the humdrum It's over and done If someone tried, you'd realize It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world If someone cried, you'd sympathize It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world At midnight in desperation Imagine total teenage destruction The Prophets all predicted extinction The Virgin spoke in apparitions And if it all came to pass now You feel we'd all deserve it somehow But if someone tried (you'd realize) You'd realize (and sympathize) It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world If someone cried (you'd sympathize) You'd sympathize (and realize) It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world It's not the end Explain Request ×
