Come out, come out and play Looks like a better day The smoke has flown away, it's over. Roads are wide, streets are clear Demons dead and nothing to fear Sing it loud so that we can hear its over. We close our eyes and try to see We are better than we used to be And think that days are safer than the nights. No matter how you wear your skirt You can always get hurt And wonder what's the glory, what's the pride? There's nothing to conquer, no kingdom to find. There's nothing so holy, it's all in your mind. She's not your mother, And she's not your sister, And she's not your daughter She needs no protector. Come out, come out and play That's what the lovers say Good wind is here to stay, it's over. Take your time and choose your seat Feel your lungs and feel your feet Theories are obsolete, it's over! Society and consequence. Overriding common sense Future tense and stories of the wild. No matter how you wear your skirt You can always get hurt And wonder what's the glory, what's the pride? There's nothing to conquer, no kingdom to find. There's nothing so holy, it's all in your mind. She's not your mother, And she's not your sister, And she's not your daughter She needs no protector. Why do you need her Tell me, why do you need her Why do you need her She needs not protector
