This is what we want, we want to be made |
|
You're manufacture for our decade |
|
Saying worldly and clever and honest we are |
|
We'll prove it with reference to our last seminar |
|
|
|
We dance and we sing |
|
Of a love we're not in |
|
And the boys and the times |
|
And the pints and the shots |
|
All we recall of a time we forgot |
|
|
|
Apparently this is the way one should be |
|
Some clever boy said so, it feels fine to me |
|
We sing and we dance and make eyes at their heads |
|
Have photographs taken to make us look dead |
|
|
|
They dance and they sing |
|
Of a world they're not in |
|
Their lives are improved by the things that we do |
|
We're special enough to get paid |
|
|
|
And we all know the real song but we won't sing along |
|
'cause our boyfriends and girlfriends and parents will say |
|
Don't be a square, grow your hair and be happy |
|
It's not god that made you this way |
|
|
|
So lift up your top |
|
Lift up your top |
|
Lift up your top, got to use what you've got |
|
Try not to see anything but the fee |
|
It's all tongue in cheek anyway! |
|
|
|
We've highlighted lines in the books of Why Not |
|
But the women back then were extremists the lot |
|
I'm have control of my gender, my sex |
|
Every whore that I've heard of is free of regret |
|
I think it's fine just to make people smile |
|
I think it's fine to force people to smile |
|
Make me a dolly, make me a princess |
|
Make me your baby, make me your goddess |
|
|
|
Rape me and beat me |
|
Rape us and beat us |
|
Rape us and beat us 'til we're black and blue |
|
We made it ok on the day we said nothing |
|
Was better than something to say |
|
|
|
What our foremothers fought for was peachy and swell |
|
But hey they forgot to be mothers as well |
|
Instead of our fathers, our sisters did say: |
|
Let's just be pretty, it's more fun that way |
|
|
|
Let's just be pretty |
|
Let's just be beautiful |
|
Let's just be retro and disco and twee |
|
We don't know the song so we can't sing along |
|
And our daughters will never be free. |
