The name Cross Dresser for the band page came about because my mostly male collaborators were singing my female viewpoint lyrics!

Story behind the song
Songbird Cooper/Marchetti
Lyrics
See the guy who made the bottle bank exist even though you bet he never got no thanks for it see the union rep at the meetings after work there on time though 8 hours sweat clings to his shirt see the workers free to air their points of view without fear they’ll get fired if they dare to and the decent dealers for the open process who resist those secret meetings in recess and the girl with clean air slogans on her bike this is what democracy looks like See the gathering waving banners in the air and the candidate determined that he got to play fair the reporter who's putting her life on the line just to get the news you’re reading out on time see some scruff on his high horse to save the fox and the voter’s hand above the ballot box and the lawyer choosing cases cause they’re right though they’re bad for the career and the money’s tight this is what democracy looks like So you value freedom stand up then and keep it don’t let the power managers steal back one single bit See the ordinary woman knocking on your door saying plainly what her party’s standing for see the protest singer making his point clear loud and proud so you won’t mistake what you hear and the old man writing letters to the press making powers that be account for carelessness see the temple and the church and the synagogue and the way we’re free to ask is there God and the leafleteer who begs you to think twice this is what democracy looks like Watch the demonstrators piling on some bus as your rights are threatened there to make a fuss and the boy who sings his own song by the shops with no fear he’ll be moved on by kill joy cops and the kids who meet to skate in open places without corporate morons making them crimminal cases and the way the races mix brown, black and white this is what democracy looks like this is what democracy looks like
