lyrics

When the lights turned on and the people cheered
You were supposed to be the one they adored
Then you took the stage, knew it was already over
But you held it in, you held out hope
You know you held out

Shoulda been shangela
Shoulda shoulda shoulda been shangela
Shoulda been shangela
Shoulda shoulda shoulda been shangela

When you brush your wig you always think about
how weird it was back when you were in school
Called you DJ then, had an army mom
Tried her heels on but they were way too big
What kind of world is this Texas town for a cross dressing kid?
The cheer squad couldn't protect you from the obnoxious dumb and cruel
They were so cruel

Shoulda been shangela
Shoulda shoulda shoulda been shangela
Shoulda been shangela
Shoulda shoulda shoulda been shangela
Should of been, would have been
Shoulda been shangela

Enter: Modern Adult Kicks (9/13/22), their most ambitious and self-possessed album to date. ... more
