20XX Songtext
von Chonny Jash

One, two, three, four

20XX
20XX

Please help me see the line you′ve drawn between blue and pink
I think, therefore I am
I am, therefore I think
It's plenty arbitrary
And yet still you′re concerned
That he in heels and makeup simply must be a "her"

But I don't really know what you want me to tell you
The future's already here and it′s thrown out all your set truths
Half a hundred years can do a number on the progressive
A man in a crop top?
Babe, don′t be excessive

"Change is only fine if it's lying behind my line"
You′ve had your time
Now the pulpit and mic' is mine
And I know I′m preaching to the choir


But I don't see the need to be so perturbed
It′s okay
(You're fine, mate)
I swear it won't hurt
And when you open your eyes
You′ll see a whole new technicolor world

You′ll see it's 20XX
Yeah, you can be who you want
So I′ma keep it a little default
20XX
Yeah, you can be coral, mauve, or cyan
And still be a mega man

"Be who you are"
As long as it's someone that they′ve picked
"Stay true to your heart"
As long as it's safe, tried, prosaic
"Make it your own"
As long as it′s simple and formulaic
Litmus tests show
That seven in 15 men are basic

I'm really feeling for the people born prior to me
I guess I'm making good on my given port priority
Fruity is as fruity does
But that don′t mean that I loathe the "sir"
(Dysphoria? I hardly know ′er!)


And rumor says the pan man in feminine apparel
Fucks with any audio
In either of the stereo channels
Or anywhere in between

So feel the groove and let the times be absurd
It's okay
(You′re 'right, mate)
To keep that line blurred
And if they′re looking irate
Check the date
And let that motherfucker be heard

Because it's 20XX
Oh, the squares have had their time
Now it′s the era of the bent line
Yeah, you had just 56
But there are millions of colors on this planet
So we're gonna run the whole damn gamut!

20XX
Yeah, you can be who you want
So I'ma keep it a little default
20 XY
And yet, they reckon it′s a disguise
"Two X chromosomes in a cis guy"

I′m always happy to be the emissary of change
I'm always happy to go into tomorrow
Forsaking today
But that don′t mean that I need me to be rearranged
No, I'm happy to stay
Aah fuck, but I′m a slut for a key change!

Because it's 20XX
So there′s no need to be shook
When I start tearing up the guide book
20XX
Throw up your technicolor flags
Sing it one more time! For the fans!

20XX
Go tell the past to bow out
Because the present's getting weird now
20XX
So let's have some fun while we′re here
We don′t know what'll happen next year
20XX
