Bobby always did what he was told to do
You can be anything that you wanna be
But he was young and his mind he didn't know
A little push was all he needed
Now he plays the game that they want him to
He's agreed he's a girl not a boy you see
We can change our own identity
It's just your body... it don't mean anything
It just a prison... keeping you locked within
We can help you... because we're very kind
We can help with the problems in your mind
It's just a construct, hey well so is everything
If you don't like it, you can just change anything
All the science we can throw it all away
We can rebuild it to say what we want to say

So years later well he went for the surgery
But his mind was a permanent dicotomy
This new religion would satisfy his needs
Just believe, believe, believe me
It will be your salvation
When he came home... all his friends had gone
To join a new cause... to sing a different song
And then he realised... as he lay in bed
That he wanted something else instead
It's just a construct, hey well so is everything
If you don't like it, you can just change anything
All the science we can throw it all away
We can rebuild it to say what we want to say

There was no way to go back to the life he had
His mind and body would never be the same again
There was just one way he could let himself be free
To lose himself, his friends, his family
No more pain, no more suffering
It was my body... I want it back again
It was myself... my own identity
You only used me... for your insanity
Now all my problems will die along with me
It's just a construct, hey well so is everything
If you don't like it, you can just change anything
All the science we can throw it all away
We can rebuild it to say what we want to say
