lyrics

You want to commodify me I'll break your legs man
You won't listen to my words I'll tear your fucking throat out
You see the power in my eyes but power stirs you from the bottom of your gut
Your gut feeling is to see me shut up
Don't twist my anger into defensive noise
Don't wrestle a reaction from me as if it's my first choice
Don't act the victim cause you know you fucking aren't
I'm not out to play this game but you make it too hard

And that look, that look I've seen it far too much
The eyes that rip right through my skin the hands that tighten their clutch
That line, that line, the one they tend to use is
'you're far too pretty to be listening to this music'

He claims to be fighting for the cause
He's adamant that he's tearing down oppressive structures
In what society? In who's ideal image?
I don't see him checking his almighty male privilege
Don't tell me that he's an anarchist
Don't tell me that he's a feminist
Don't tell me that he gives a shit
About anyone's view that isn't his
He can't take a little truth
From a woman of all people
Well man you better sit down
Because it's not your turn to speak

You're just another fucking joke
Rotten to the very core
You're just another one of them
But with a black flag to even out the score
