Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh What's it like to be a girl-irl In the music wo-orld Oh,oh,oh,oh This scene is so sexist,believe me,I get it We'd probably sell more records if I flaunted my ass and chest,but forget it I work like one of the boys and I'm as true as they get But I'm a lady through and through,like,give me some credit I knew I'd regret it,if I tried to blend in,and pretend,be something other than I am Like,have you noticed,I'm a woman,didn't come to downplay it Or to play it up either,and I'm not trying to pick a fight or be nobody's leader But it feels like everybody's just a little too interested,in the fact that females can indeed make music Our interviews,our bios,they all make it a point "Female fronted band,from Decatur,Illinois" And just once,I'd like to see some other bands resume,go out of their way to say they're fronted by a male,okay And while we're on it,let me say,woman don't all sound the same Who gave us the idea that female fronted is a genre anyway? Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh What's it like to be a girl-irl In the music wo-orld Oh,oh,oh,oh Wanna make it disappear-ear Tell me what they wanna he-ear If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me? Will you love me,love me,ugly And I know it's not fair,and I can't complain,cause with a girl in our band,people don't look away But you know what? It feels like they look,a little to long Stare me up and down,forget to listen to the song I take the stage and before I even open my mouth The audience assumes that they got us all figured out "Oh you band's got chick?Must be some kind of trick.There's no way she got this far without sucking somebody's--" Did you really think that's how it works!? I'm not ****ing eye candy! I'm here to do my job,I'll be the last man standing Boys in the crowd asking,for me to flash them.Well here you go!News flash,you're ignorant and that's that I bet you'd never say that to your little sister The media's got you all jacked up little mister Cause girls in my position can perpetuate the cycle,walking a tight rope,don't know which way to go Hypersexualize or downplay your femininity,dress like the dudes,or pray to God that you're pretty,are you kidding me!? I don' even know whose to blame Beauty sells,I'll buy it too!I'm trying to sell it back to you! Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh What's it like to be a girl-irl In the music wo-orld Oh,oh,oh,oh Wanna make it disappear-ear Tell me what they wanna he-ear If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me? Will you love me,love me,ugly So tell me,what's a woman to do No scratch that Tell me what's a human being to do with the fact that What gets us ahead holds us back more.Is a level playing field too much to ask for? And I know that by saying it,I'm bringing attention To an Issue that might be better left unmentioned But someone's gotta say it,gotta call out the scene The scene is obscene,my sanity's split at the seams So to all of y'all making this just about ass shit Here to set the record straight,it don't gotta be this way We can change the game,rearrange the way to fame And make a bigger deal about the talent than the face See I got little girls watching me,wanting to be like me I wanna show them that they don't gotta be like me They can do their own things,they can rewrite the rules They can get respect without acting like fools So lets not make it harder than it has to be I'll keep making music,you stop asking me What's it like to be a girl in the entertainment world Cuz now you know Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh What's it like to be a girl-irl In the music wo-orld Oh,oh,oh,oh Wanna make it disappear-ear Tell me what they wanna he-ear If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me? Will you love me,love me,ugly Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh What's it like to be a girl-irl In the music wo-orld Oh,oh,oh,oh Wanna make it disappear-ear Tell me what they wanna he-ear If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me?
