作曲 : Protest The Hero | |
Do you remember how it was when you bled? | |
When you loved and burned in those flames that you've kept | |
Because Vesta's long been sleeping | |
And now you've come to accept that | |
Your anatomy defines more than a few of the gaping holes in our social fabric | |
More than a few one night stands, more than a few prison bars melted into wedding bands | |
We've made you all the peasants and we've made ourselves the kings | |
Our queens are still subordinate as an angel without wings | |
We make it easy to belong which means it's easy to be wrong" | |
Put some plastic in your tits, and you'd look better as a blonde" | |
I remember when you were hopeful | |
And you never thought your life would be lived inside a coffin | |
With a moral sacrifice and a million social obligations, labels and expectations | |
You were young and modern seventeen in vogue and vague pursuit of a cosmopolitan dream | |
When you bled on the bed as you fed those expectations as a whore and not a human | |
You embraced with hesitation the parameters of all you can be | |
Not a mother, not an aunt, not a sister who's not subdued | |
Because dignity's not physical and your flesh means more than you | |
Your flesh means more than you; your flesh means more than you | |
Your flesh means more than you; your flesh means more than you | |
I know we'll wake up one day with a gun to the back of our brains | |
You'll be asking for your rib and | |
I'll smile and call you brave | |
Maybe someday when this bloody skull has dried | |
I'll know our city is in ruins | |
And the greatest source of pride is a monument of dicks and ribs and gender crowns we wore | |
Where underneath, a plaque will read, " | |
No woman is a whore" |
