This is what we want, we want to be made
|
You're manufacture for our decade
|
Saying worldly and clever and honest we are
|
We'll prove it with reference to our last seminar
|
|
We dance and we sing
|
Of a love we're not in
|
And the boys and the times
|
And the pints and the shots
|
All we recall of a time we forgot
|
|
Apparently this is the way one should be
|
Some clever boy said so, it feels fine to me
|
We sing and we dance and make eyes at their heads
|
Have photographs taken to make us look dead
|
|
They dance and they sing
|
Of a world they're not in
|
Their lives are improved by the things that we do
|
We're special enough to get paid
|
|
And we all know the real song but we won't sing along
|
'cause our boyfriends and girlfriends and parents will say
|
Don't be a square, grow your hair and be happy
|
It's not god that made you this way
|
|
So lift up your top
|
Lift up your top
|
Lift up your top, got to use what you've got
|
Try not to see anything but the fee
|
It's all tongue in cheek anyway!
|
|
We've highlighted lines in the books of Why Not
|
But the women back then were extremists the lot
|
I'm have control of my gender, my sex
|
Every whore that I've heard of is free of regret
|
I think it's fine just to make people smile
|
I think it's fine to force people to smile
|
Make me a dolly, make me a princess
|
Make me your baby, make me your goddess
|
|
Rape me and beat me
|
Rape us and beat us
|
Rape us and beat us 'til we're black and blue
|
We made it ok on the day we said nothing
|
Was better than something to say
|
|
What our foremothers fought for was peachy and swell
|
But hey they forgot to be mothers as well
|
Instead of our fathers, our sisters did say:
|
Let's just be pretty, it's more fun that way
|
|
Let's just be pretty
|
Let's just be beautiful
|
Let's just be retro and disco and twee
|
We don't know the song so we can't sing along
|
And our daughters will never be free.
