lullaby for a model patient

from Role Play by Loose Changeling

/

lyrics

all of the world is a stage to you and all that you are is a song
all of your doctors are watching you and hoping you sing the tune wrong
so sing your pitiful heart out, darling, try to keep it in key
sing the words that you practised, darling, maybe you'll fool them
maybe you'll make them agree

[doc: Maybe you do identify with certain stereotypes of the female gender role, but that doesn't make you a woman.]
[doc: When did this idea first occur to you?]
[doc: It's a medical matter, it isn't a personal choice. I like to be informed.]
[doc: If you can demonstrate to me that you can live in society and pass as a female, be accepted as a female, then I may be able to refer you to a surgeon.]
[doc: And if you don't like that, well then you must find another doctor.]

[julia: well i think it's very unfair that one person should have the right after only, sort of, half and hour's chat, three-quarters of an hour's chat, to make a decision on a person's life]

in your drowning you'll find your tune
the dance they'd never teach to you
and in the wake of a thousand stars
you'll be the nightmare they dream you are
