It’s The End Of Normal – Steven C. Hayes

This song is my 2021 contribution to the Follies – a segment in every ACBS conference (ACBS stands for Association for Contextual Behavioral Science). Enjoy :) Also, here are the lyrics: “It’s The End of Normal“ by Steven C. Hayes __ It’s the end of “normal” Typical concepts don’t apply It’s the end of “normal” Look inside and you’ll see why Dogma disappearing It’s the rising of the nones; If you’re not “he” or “she,” Well, you’re not the only one. There are thirteen ways to learn to walk and many more to run; Diagnostic labeling Is over now – it’s done! It’s the end of “normal” So many pathways to explore It’s the end of “normal” That’s what psychology is for Pearson and Sir Ronald knew Exactly what it means; They put averages atop us To fulfill eugenic dreams; Only certain ones would get to breed And they didn’t mean me or you; Cuz you’re black, or brown, or gay, My momma’s momma was a Jew. It’s the end of “normal” What if you could just be you? It’s the end of “normal” What we need is truly new.
