about

This is my favorite song on the album, and definitely the most fun to record, with my friends Jason, Kevin, and Chris. Thanks y'all.

lyrics

Neon and Rainbows

Way, way back when you were in utero,
People began asking, they needed (we need) to know!
The answer to that troublesome, ill-defined question,
Is it a boy or a girl?

You see, people view people divided in two:
Pretty in pink, or handsome in blue.
Well it’s all so ridiculous if you ask me,
Cause I’d rather wear neon and rainbows!

chorus:
Neon and rainbows on a skirt or a vest.
Neon and rainbows on a suit or a dress.
Neon and rainbows, I’ll wear what I please.
Neon and rainbows, chromosomes won’t define me!

We’ve made only two options where there could have been eight
Imposed black and white boxes on kaleidoscopic traits
Such as chromosomes and hormones, and hairiness and weight,
Stature and posture, skin texture and strength.

There’s the pitch of one’s voice, which for most kids is high,
And there’s whether your goodies hang inside or outside.
We’ve stamped out our queerness, let’s let it fly free!
Let’s discard the labels and be who we wanna be.

And I’m gonna wear...
Neon and rainbows!

[chorus]
