Lyrics

Binary

You are not a computer
You are complex and undefined
So why let yourself be limited to binary desires?
To binary identities and binary ideals
Like switching on or switching off
Choosing a bow-tie or high-heels

So let it be complicated
And hard to understand
You know they would envy you
If they got their heads out of the sand
So make them uncomfortable
And challenge their ideals
Because those antiquated notions
Are blinding what is real

I am bigger than a hexadecimal (repeat)
