Prom Queen

I can be anything
I’ll show them all
I can be anything
I’ll show them all

On the day he turned 16
He washed his face and brushed his teeth
Looked in the mirror longingly
Said: I could be the next prom queen
He closed the door and went to school
And tried to act so very cool
Living a double life
Isn’t so very nice
Sometimes he isn’t sure
If he’s a boy or girl

Got home at quarter after three
He opened up the vanity
Applied his makeup expertly
And said: I could pass for 23
Hе stole his little sister’s drеss
And used his brother’s socks as breasts
He shaved his legs and moussed his hair
Put on his mother’s underwear

I can be anything that I want to be
Someday I will really show them all
I can be anything that I want to be
Someday I will really show them all

On the day he turned 19
He took a train to Bleeker Street
He met a guy named Norma Jean
Who said he could fulfill his dream
He told the doctor of his woes
And took the bottle of hormones
Struck collagen into his lips
And silicone into his hips
He didn’t even cry
Under the surgeon’s knife
Now he can tell the world
That she’s a real girl

I can be anything that I wanna be
Someday I will really show them all
I can be anything that I wanna be
Someday I will really show them all
I can be anything that I wanna be
Someday I will really show them all
(Someday I will really show them all)

That I can be prom queen (prom queen)
I can be prom queen (prom queen)
I can be prom queen (prom queen)
I can be prom queen (prom queen)
I can be prom queen
