lyrics

V1
When I was young
I had no idea what it meant to be
A fem
A fem
A feminist
When I was young
I had no idea what it meant to be
Strong
Strong
Strong
Stronger than you
Stronger than you

Chorus
'Cause all I feel is the weight of the world
Pushing me down so my words go unheard
And every time I open my mouth all I hear is
"Shut up, Shut up"
"Shut up, shut up and be"
"Shut up, sit down, shut up, and be pretty for me"
"Pretty for me"

V2
So, I am a girl
A woman a girl in a man's world
That's what I've been told
That's what I've been told
And my pussy in needs some equal attention
Politically
And some affection
Where would you be
Where would you be
Without it

Chorus

Bridge
And I'm tired of living in a world
Where some things are more regulated
Than others
And I'm horrified of living in a world
For my sisters, my best friends, my mother
And I'm tired of living in a world world
Where some people are more regulated than others
And I'm horrified of living in this world
For my sisters, my best friends, my mother
My mother

Chorus
