Masochist

[KITTY]
The cat don’t choose to purr

The light don’t choose to buzz
The weather don’t choose to occur
It just does

Electro shocks don’t elect to sting
Medication don’t select to fizz
Butterfly don’t try to be a beautiful thing
She just is

And hey hey the way that I feel
They try to say hey that it isn’t real
But I don’t choose who I am
I just exist

‘Cause I may be a queer, but
Hey, baby, I ain’t no masochist

The fire gotta make some smoke
Rebel gotta raise her voice
The system doesn’t have to be broke

Because unlike us
The system has a choice

And hey hey the way that we are
They try to say hey that it’s so bizarre
They tell me how to be
I fight back, I persist

Cuz I may be a bitch but
Hey, baby, I ain’t no masochist

Uh uh uh uh
Hey, baby, I ain’t no masochist
Uh uh uh uh
Hey, baby

The world can claim it’s all lies
But ain’t nobody gonna tell me otherwise

I just wanna transcend
I won’t stop until
They can all comprehend
That I am not ill

[SUSANNAH]
I already know that I’m whole
Not something in between

[KITTY]
Now, the number one goal
Is I just wanna be

[SUSANNAH]
I just wanna be

[KITTY]
I just wanna be seen

[SUSANNAH & KITTY]
Hey hey the way that I feel / Oo-oo
Don't try to say that it isn't real / Oo-oo

[KITTY & SUSANNAH]
Cuz with the terror that I feel
Every day
Tell me who in their right mind
Would choose to feel this way

[KITTY, SUSANNAH, DOROTHY]
Let them shackle me down
I will always resist

[KITTY, SUSANNAH, DOROTHY, RAT]
I refuse to be eternally
Degraded and dismissed

[KITTY, SUSANNAH, DOROTHY, RAT, YA-YA]
I love who I am
I demand to exist

[KITTY]
And I will not play the victim today 'cause

[ALL]
Hey, baby, I ain't no masochist
Uh uh uh uh hey, baby, I ain't no masochist
Uh uh uh uh hey, baby, I ain't no masochist
Uh uh uh uh hey, baby, I ain't no masochist
Uh uh uh uh hey, baby

[KITTY]
You can claim it's all lies (lies)

[ALL]
One day everybody’s gonna recognize
I’m not wearing any phony fake disguise
My existence shouldn’t be a compromise
Ain’t nobody gonna tell me otherwise

A-a-aah!
