They Them Energy lyrics
This is a public service announcement
Anyone dressed in androgynous outfits
This is a sweet and friendly reminder
That you are safe here show off your binder
The outside world gets a little bit crazy
Tryna figure out are you a man or a lady?
Not rocket surgery it’s very simple
I’m just a little more me in the middle
And when they put me in the hot hot hot seat
And everybody wants to bo-o-ox me
If I’m feeling accepted and comfy and safe
I’ll say
It’s been a while nice to see ya
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say
No, I’m ok
Yanno how I’m gay?
Well now I go by they!
It’s no big deal I’m more me now
I understand if you make mistakes
It’s all ok
I’m still the same
But now I go by they!
So you grew up Christian
In a rigid system
So it’s hard to listen
When that little voice says “Something’s missing”
But no one’s rushing you
We’re just loving you
When you’re ready to
We’ll be here with open ears when you say
It’s been a while nice to see ya
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say
No, I’m ok
Yanno how I’m gay?
Well now I go by they!
It’s no big deal I’m more me now
I understand if you make mistakes
It’s all ok
I’m still the same
But now I go by they!
A Pokémon shirt but you know that it’s a crop top
They/them energy, they/them energy!
I wish I had a beard and a bright green Mohawk
They/them energy, they/them energy!
A tote bag filled with erotica poetry
They/them energy, they/them energy!
I wanna feel seen but I hope no one will notice me
They/them energy, they/them energy!
They! it’s been a while nice to see ya
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say
No, I’m ok
Yanno how I’m gay?
Well now I go by they!
It’s no big deal I’m more me now
I understand if you make mistakes
It’s all ok
I’m still the same
But now I go by they!
But now I go by they!
