God Made You This Way

From the Album:
Build What You Want To See
Lyrics and notesCHORUS:
We're born into a culture based on norms and status quo
Don't stray from the average, don't ever rock the boat
We're either male or female, we're either straight or gay
Forget your feelings, just remember, God made you this way.
But what if you were born with a penis but don't feel that you're a male
Or what if you were born with a vagina but don't feel that you're a female
What if you have both, what if you feel like you could be either
Why should anyone but you be allowed to choose your gender for you?
Many Christians don't want queers to have the right to be married
Why would anyone want to be married anyway
You pay for a legally binding contract that only the court can break
What kind of love needs to be validated by the state?
CHORUS
And while I do agree that queers should have the same rights, I don't believe
that assimilation into this fucked up system will ever make us free
And while I recognize that there are other reasons to need to get married
this is only caused by the state's destruction of our other liberties.
Why should it matter to the state what pronoun you prefer
Why should anyone decide for you the gender of your partner
I don't want to be given the right to marry whomever I please
I want to smash the system that assumes that it can take that right from me.
