The boy who plays with dolls
Looks out a window at orion
Knows he'll be hunted down
By the cowards and the sportsmen again

Minds at rest tend to stay that way
So stay wide awake

The girl who wants to be
Much more than a mother
Is told it is not ladylike
Leave ambition to your brother

Lies in motion tend to stay that way
My emotions keep me awake

Keep me awake

The one who's skin is brown
Looks with love at a pink-skinned lover
Knows they'll face harder times
And they will not run for cover

Minds at rest tend to stay that way
So stay wide awake
Lies in motion tend to stay that way
So stay wide awake
