The History of Blue and Pink

CHORUS:

Don't let em fool you, don't let em tell you what to think

Wonder what really happened, the history of blue and pink

Not so long ago

All the moms were told

Dress your boys in pink clothes

Dress your girls in blue clothes?!

Pink was so strong

Dainty blue was calm

All the catalogs sang the song

Put boys in pink to belong

Only boys are strong?

Wear pink to belong?

People went along?

And they missed things

Were they listening?

All this blue and pink

Not what you think

Make you wanna think

Wait a minute we know what this is

Wink wink

Enter The Man

To complicate the plan

It's 1950: boys wear blue!

girls wear pink!

All of the stores

Know you need more

They're sayin that girl can't wear

what her older brother wore

You gotta buy two

One pink, one blue

They're advertising straight to you

To Consume, consume!

We assume we gotta purchase it soon and play the tune of what color to decorate the boys room

Don't let em fool ya

You know It's made up, it's clearly arbitrary

Wonder what really happened

Who's telling you to wear what ?! It's kinda scary

Don't let em fool ya

Always trying to tell you what color is for you

We reclaim, taking it back, saying pink's the new black, but we'd never have to defend blue

You know why, I know you do
