The truth will out - I had to tell her Feel like a woman, just look like a fella Need to find help to pick up the pieces Put all the right bits in all the right places Sat impatiently in the surgery, feeling like I need the loo Then it came across the tannoy: 'Russ Copsey, Room Two' I walked straight in and told him, 'I wanna be a woman' He said, 'Sit down Mr Copsey, let's talk about it' So I tell him the facts, the damascian truth Him staring, head cocked, like I've something to prove He gave it a name - the cure's irreversible, the implications profound I want the lot - I'm in for a penny, I'm in for a pound And I want it now... You need to prove you're ready You need to prove your worth Got to get to know you better And the nature of your urge I can't wait around forever Got to get this whole thing done The faster this bit's over The sooner comes the sun Some things in life - they must come out They can't crush me - and my tomorrow It's something there - within me now I can't control - the truth is hard to swallow I want it and I want it now This is hard to swallow 'A persistent desire to live as a female for two years or more' 'Dress as a woman for a year'... some quack giving me a score How long do I have to wait? 45 years (!) and it's making me ill I need to put things right now, turn this boy into a girl Need a second opinion - yes, my employer's private health scheme Of course they'll support me in living my dream So I phoned up BUPA, but discovered to my horror The company doesn't cover gender dysphoria This is hard to swallow You need to make your own way You need to make her real Got to get to know her better And know just how you feel I can't wait around forever Got to get this whole thing done The quicker this bit's over The sooner comes the fun Some things in life - they must come out You can't crush me - and my tomorrow Something there - within me now I can't control - the truth is hard to swallow Fuelled by desire for all kinds of things Long hair, camel toe, big boobs and smooth limbs This is the truth of people and what's inside them These feelings are real and you can't deny them The cold, heartless inhuman leviathan Silent judgement and hidden violence Who are you to say what I can and can't do? I'm part of the system but I'm free to choose The clock is ticking, life's for living It's the story of my life but there's pages missing I'll find a way to stop feeling a failure Board a plane and head to Albania
