Cry Genie Cry Songtext
von Zounds

I was born into a world that I didn′t create
The nurse smacked my arse and she told me to wait
Everything one day will all become clear
So I waited and I waited, I'm still waiting to hear
They all gathered round and they stared at me
And some speculated what one day I would be
Will he be clever or a great Engineer?
Will he be straight? Well I hope he′s not queer.

Because I still don't know what I'm supposed to be
I still don′t know what I′m supposed to be
I still don't know what I′m supposed to be
I don't know what I′m supposed to be


So they took me back home till it came time for school
Sending me there was bewildering and cruel
They sat on your hands if you tried to have fun
If you spoke out of turn then they'd cut out your tongue
I can′t give up coffee, sugar or tea
I can't give up sex, and it won't give up me
I can′t give up anger though I tried and I tried
I′m aching and I'm hurting and I′m crying inside

Because I still don't know what I′m supposed to be
I still don't know what I′m supposed to be
I still don't know what I'm supposed to be
I don′t know what I′m supposed to be

I don't want enemies but I can′t pretend
I don't have a few, and some used to be friends
I wanna be good and live like a saint
I guess I′m too twisted and I ain't got the patience

I railed and I raged but they kept the door shut
Seems that you′re bigger but you never grew up
Emotionally retarded, cry bubby cry
I said "You're heartless", she said "Fuck off and die"

Because I still don't know what I′m supposed to be
I still don′t know what I'm supposed to be
I still don′t know what I'm supposed to be
I don′t know what I'm supposed to be

I don′t know what I'm supposed to be
I don't know what I′m supposed to be
I don′t know what I'm supposed to be
