“Woke Blokes” is the 7th track from Thelma Plum’s debut album, Better in Blak.

[Chorus]
I'm so sick of these woke blokes
Livin' their woke lives, fuckin' their woke girls
Not like me
You're not like me
[Verse 1]
He's like, "Kill the boy down the road
Who hurt the girl real bad
Unless he is my friend
Or plays in my favourite band"
He says, "Change the date? You should be grateful
You're only stirring the pot
Babe, there's only so much I can do
And your whinging's gotta stop"
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't want to let it go
If I do, no one will know
How it feels to be alone
And I just want it to stop
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of these woke blokes
Livin' their woke lives, fuckin' their woke girls
Not like me
You're not like me
I'm so sick of these woke blokes
Livin' their woke lives, fuckin' their woke girls
Not like me
You're not like me
[Verse 2]
He does yoga in the morning
And coke all afternoon
He wants to take me to Bali
Get me drunk on the full moon
His friends all start to panic
When #MeToo makes the news
Yeah, it's like a witch hunt
Yeah, I really don't share those views
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't want to let it go
If I do, no one will know
How it feels to be alone
And I just want it to stop
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of these woke blokes
Livin' their woke lives, fuckin' their woke girls
Not like me
You're not like me
I'm so sick of these woke blokes
Livin' their woke lives, fuckin' their woke girls
Not like me
You're not like me
I'm so sick of these woke blokes
Livin' their woke lives, fuckin' their woke girls
Not like me
You're not like me
I'm so sick of these woke blokes
Livin' their woke lives, fuckin' their woke girls
Not like me
You're not like me
You're not like me
