Yeah. If our friends didn’t pick on us growing
up, we wouldn’t have to do it to others.
So it’s their fault!
They always used to hang out,
back at my school.
Tom, Jack, and Harry Trout
they were so cool.
When I asked to join in,
they said you coy!
People that open up like that,
they're called, SISSY BOYS!
They always called me sissy boy,
no that's not me.
Maybe cause I like to sit,
down when I pee.
They always called me sissy boy,
when I say I'm sad.
No I'm not a sissy boy,
I'm a sissy man!

Paxton:
So it’s not our fault!
It’s everyone else's!
So... Now it’s starting to feel like we’ve been
treating people the way we were treated.
Simon:
The golden rule!
Paxton:
That’s not the golden rule. It just means we are
somewhat responsible for causing this.
Simon:
No way. I was not like that. All I did was tell
Hudson he too much.
Dang. It was us.
Paxton:
Maybe it’s not too late.
Simon:
You think?
Paxton:
They always called me funny girl,
was never okay.
I always used to laugh it off,
just to fit in.
They always called me funny girl,
to stop me from blooming.
If you ask me again I'll say,
I'm a funny woman!
Paxton/Simon:
There's something bout this stupid life,
that makes it so keen.
There's something super safe about,
being so mean.
But if I could be hot rich,
and stunning.
I'd rather be dumb stupid,
sissy and funny!
Simon:
Yeah!
Paxton:
Okay?
