In a system based on inequality where do you draw the line
|
Between fighting to stop oppression and perpetuating the same crime
|
When you start to define anyone simply based upon their gender
|
They you're guilty of the crime and wan equally wrong offender
|
It makes life easy to force people into simple categories
|
You're a man, you're a woman isn't that the same old story
|
And as a man society has mapped out exactly what you must do
|
Just as society has told all women what their roles are too
|
Too many times we think fighting sexism means creating a battlefield
|
With men on one side and women on the other and both sides ready to kill
|
But striving to find creative solutions to a problem that exists
|
Doesn't have to mean that it's her side against his
|
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem?
|
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem?
|
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem?
|
Isolation or solution to the problem
|
A person's ability to fight sexism shouldn't be based on gender
|
Just because someone is a man doesn't mean he's a sexist oppressor
|
Or that he's blind to the problems that create gender inequality
|
And that he's blind to the problems that create gender inequality
|
And that he's not willing to do his part to help change society
|
Just as some women don't know exactly how to take a stand against gender roles
|
Simply because they're a woman doesn't mean they have all the knowledge and the tools
|
To break down the barriers of oppression and inequality that exists
|
Because it's the barriers between women and men that allows sexism to persist
|
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem?
|
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem?
|
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem?
|
Isolation or solution to the problem
|
If you don't strive to stop oppression then you're part of the problem
|
Whether you're a man or a woman it'll take us all to fucking stop them
|
Men and women both suffer under he heavy hand of oppression
|
Both living gender roles that only lead to this suppression
|
Of our natural ability to communicate and live equally with each other
|
As a friend or a lover, as a sister or a brother
|
If our only goal in fighting sexism is to try and place blame
|
Then unfortunately we're all guilty of playing the same games
|
But if in unity women and men come together and take a stand
|
Then with our united goal we could bring sexism to an end
|
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem?
|
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem?
|
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem?
|
Isolation or solution to the problem
