Floods of tears and doors slamming 
Stamping feet across the landing 
Because of your obligation 
To stay home and fight 
Sitting down to a composition 
Test the limits of your inhibition 
If the phone hasn't rung by midnight 
It's over tonight 
 
If someone tried, you'd realize 
It's just a boy or a girl 
It's not the end of the world 
 
Piles of toast and broken promises 
Among the books and pens and reading glasses 
It seems there's no escape from the humdrum 
It's over and done 
 
If someone tried, you'd realize 
It's just a boy or a girl 
It's not the end of the world 
If someone cried, you'd sympathize 
It's just a boy or a girl 
It's not the end of the world 
 
At midnight in desperation 
Imagine total teenage destruction 
 
The Prophets all predicted extinction 
The Virgin spoke in apparitions 
And if it all came to pass now 
You feel we'd all deserve it somehow 
 
But if someone tried (you'd realize) 
You'd realize (and sympathize) 
It's just a boy or a girl 
It's not the end of the world 
If someone cried (you'd sympathize) 
You'd sympathize (and realize) 
It's just a boy or a girl 
It's not the end of the world 
It's not the end
