lyrics

“You’ve got a lot to say...you’re only whispering,” said
“Speak up girl, we can’t hear a thing.”
You’ve got a lot of pain tucked away in me
Your projections are suffocating

Oh this again, oh yes, I know it well
They say “just play it safe, don’t crack their shell”
“Good girls, like you, don’t ever speak that way,
Just button up and play the game.
Just hush now, don’t look so ashamed.”

They say not to bite the hand that feeds
Your barking demands travel up the wrong tree
They say not to kill the heart that bleeds
Manipulation is not starting at me

“Ladies control their rage.” They say
“Don’t question a thing,
Ignorance offers you pure ecstacy.”
But I can feel the pain you try to bury in me
Your fear disguised as masculinity

Oh this again, you know I’ve played this game
They need to keep you small and so they say
“You know that things will never go your way
If you don’t shut your mouth, remember the shame…
But don’t look so afraid.”

They say not to bite the hand that feeds
Your barking demands travel up the wrong tree
They say not to kill the heart that bleeds
Manipulation is not starting at me

You can’t control us now
We’re finished playing your games
We won’t be silenced now
We’ll fight in spite of your name
