B is for the Birthparents who Brought Us Forth.
A is for A-Parents, who Give Their Part.
S is for our Siblinghood, our Fam-ily Torch.
T is for the Terror We Strike In Some Hearts.
A is for ADOPTEES! (pause) We Know What We're Worth!
R is for Registration which we've Made An Art.
D is for Discrimination (pause, pause) -- NO MORE!
Put them all together
They spell BASTARD!
My People! My Conscience! My Birth!


Rah Rah! Sis Boom Bah!
Bastards We Will Change The Law!


Give Me My Identity!
Only Then Will I Be Free!


Daddy Had A Primal Woody
Mama Felt It Was Her Duty
To Take Him In,
It Was Unplanned
They Had Their Fun
Now Here I Am!
Gooooooooo Bastards!


It Is Apparent
I Have Four Parents
Big Brother Makes Five
But He's So Jive
He Says Two Parents
Are Not Alive!
Where Can They Be?
Where Did They Go?
Big Brother Does Not
Want Me To Know!
Let My Bastard People Go!
Let My Bastard People Go!
Let My Bastard People Go!


Pricetag, Pricetag,
On My Ass,
I Live Under A
Looking Glass.
I See Mama,
I See Pop,
Two More Somewhere,
I Won't Stop!
Bastards Gonna
Reach The Top
Paper Trail, Paper Trail,
Where Do You Lead?
Judge, Will You Do Me
One Good Deed?
Only Adoptees
Have This Need!
Overturn The Laws!
We Will Succeed!
