Stereotypes are a switch
Being constantly flicked
On
and
off
and
on
and
off
This switch begins a circuit.
Being bullied for what I AM
And having to CHANGE to what someone else wants.

What gender, what race, what culture, what difference...

Whoa... A blonde... She must be a stupid gold digger
Whoa... A Christian... They must be homophobes.
Whoa… A Nerd… They must wear glasses and study all the time?
Whoa… A Girl… They must wear a bra and have shaved legs.

They don't ACCEPT me, for who I am and expects me to make a CLONE of MYSELF to SUIT them.

To suit them... To change me...
To change me... To suit them...

My mum is expected to be at home cleaning,
Though she wants a full-time job.
My dad is expected to be working 24/7
Though he is at home cooking and cleaning
My friends are expected to be on social media after school,
Though we play video games instead.
My future wife is expected to love me forever and ever,
Though this may not be the case.

To suit them... To change me...
To change me... To suit them...

My life is expected to end at age 80,
Though, I may get cancer and die at 30.
My athleticism is expected to that of other boys,
Though, I'd rather read a book.
My look is expected to mid-riff top and short pants,
Though, I rather long pants with t-shirt.
My income is expected to me stable,
Though, this is not the case.

To suit them... To change me...
To change me... To suit them...
`
Labels are for clothes... Not people...
Assuming my life creates another famous clothing brand, assuming I'm meant to be in it.

To suit them... To change me...
To change me... To suit them...

Hey... No offence...
Hey... No offence... But...
Hey... No offence... But... Your
Don't worry, I said No Offence...

To suit them... To change me...
To change me... To suit them

No stereotype is not a trend, though, everyone expects me to be in it.

Stereotypes: a word for awkward situations, OTT, she is, he is, they are, the difference is?
They said, we said, she said, he said – who said.
Girls, boys, men, women, nerds, blondes, gamers, Christians, Asians, Africans, Australians, Americans.
They did, we did, she did, he did – who did?

To suit them... To change me...
To change me... To suit them…

What do you expect...?
