Julie wants to go to war to fight for the right of being born unsure

She never fit in to those high heeled shoes

Rather lace up a pair of combat boots

Julie dreams of that ol' front line that her grandaddy towed back in ’69

With an M16 pressed against her skin, she’d forget all about the wars within

'cause Julie’s gonna change her name to Daniel

Daniel wants to come out of the shadows

Uncle Sam I don't mean to cause any trouble

Julie's taking on the beast

Stationed somewhere in Korea in the DMZ

They were fighting for freedom & the right to choose

Until the day they read the news

Julie's on a plane back home

Tried everything to stay but they still said no

When did living as a gender that you weren't assigned have anything to do with your sacrifice?

Julie’s gonna change her name to Daniel

Daniel’s gonna come out of the shadows

Uncle Sam I don't mean to cause any trouble

Uncle Sam don't wanna leave all your feathers ruffled

But Daniel wants to go to war to fight for the right of being born unsure

Never fit in to those high heeled shoes

Now they sit in the closet with some combat boots
