Wh...
You’re the kinda bitch that seeks to divide
Yeah, but I’m the kinda bitch that seeks to unite
You can’t see the allies for the trees
You wanna get every man on his knees
Hey, I’m here;
A shoulder to cry on
We’re all so proud of you for putting yourself first
You can’t take a class on class
Your doctorate don’t mean shit
We all want a safer space
You’re gonna have to fucking roll with it
Hey! Hey! We’re all, we’re all woman
You would do well to remember just how fluid is gender
You’re a relic of the second wave, and we’ve waved goodbye
Feel your feelings. Use your words. Have you been oppressed too?
Don’t worry, I’m here for you
Hey! Hey! We’re all, we’re all woman
If you’re gonna cry then I wanna be there
If you’re gonna leave then I wanna be here
If you’re gonna stay then I’m gonna be here
The seed, when it feeds, with its teeth, end the scene
Lash out! Sit in!
Hey! Hey! We’re all, we’re all woman
