Lyrics

Is it sinful if you're blue To cheer up the place? What is wrong with dressing up in satin and lace? Get some earrings, some mascara, heels and a fan. Pretty soon you will start to feel a different man. What the hell's wrong with expressing yourself? Being who you want to be? Will anybody die if you put on a dress? Who the hell cares if your blusher's a mess? Start a new fashion, buck all the trends. Emphasise integrity. Cos what the hell is wrong with expressing yourself For wanting to be me? BILLY What the hell's wrong with wearing a dress? Being who you wanna be? MICHAEL Who the hell is it you try to impress All you have to do is learn to care less Start a new fashion, buck all the trends MICHAEL Billy, sing something to me What the hell is wrong with expressing yourself? For trying to be free. If you wanna be a dancer, dance If you wanna be a miner, mine If you want to dress like somebody else, Fine, fine, fine. It's not a big statement, it's not a weird act Just a good idea at the time We'll not complain about your boring life If you'll just leave me to mine. If you wanna be a dancer, dance If you wanna be a miner, mine Everyone is different It's the natural state It's the facts, it's plain to see, The world's grey enough without making it worse What we need is individuality.
