Jude Perl - The Label Song текст песни

Исполнитель: Jude Perl

альбом: I Have a Face


If a label's helpful you should use it, if a label's helpful you should definitely use it
Well sometimes labels are the key to identify your identity, If a label's helpful you should use it
If a label makes you feel much safer
So you don't have to explain things to you workmates or your neighbour
If that label helps define who you are and saves you time
If the label's helpful you should use it
But sometimes labels just cause interference
And some people find them more of a hindrance
Cause maybe you don't fit in one group
You're more complex than a can of soup
Unless that label's helpful then don't use it
When I was nine i was sure that I was gay
I wore baggy clothes I was scared of men, and all the boys I liked told me I was gay
But then one day I saw a vague
And I said that's nice but it's not for me
And I hate to say it, it makes me sick
But I really do love me some dick
If a label gets you something you need
If the label's accurate and it can help you succeed
If that label gets you the right medication
Or assists you with your education
If the label's helpful, fucking milk the shit out of it
That's what I would do
Well I was a music artist in my early twenties
But people wouldn't buy it cause I wasn't cool or sexy
Because being sexy and writing songs
Apparently can't occur independently
But it's cool because I left the music industry on good terms, mostly
So then I labeled myself a comedian
And a bunch of people were like "Nah, you're not a comedian"
Well I guess they're right what do I know, I've only written and performed five full length comedy shows
Just thought the label might be helpful, from a marketing perspective
Well some days I wake up and I'm a lady
And other days I wake up and I'm not so much lady
Well I guess some call that genderfluid
Right now I don't need that label so I don't use it
The label doesn't help me, I don't use it
Some labels might be true for you forever, you take care of those labels
Cause they hold your life together
Well there was a time you had to hide that part of you
It's life denied
Now there is no greater warmth or pride
When the world affirms who you are inside
Some labels might be true for you at one stage
But being open minded means allowing yourself to change
That same label that freed your heart
Could one day be your prison bars
Only use that label when it's helpful
Only use that label when it's helpful, yeah
Only use that label
Only use that label
Only use that label when it's helpful
