| [00:00.000] |
Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh |
| [00:03.000] |
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh |
| [00:06.200] |
What's it like to be a girl-irl |
| [00:07.800] |
In the music wo-orld |
| [00:09.000] |
Oh,oh,oh,oh |
| [00:09.800] |
This scene is so sexist,believe me,I get it |
| [00:12.000] |
We'd probably sell more records if I flaunted my ass and chest,but forget it |
| [00:15.000] |
I work like one of the boys and I'm as true as they get |
| [00:18.700] |
But I'm a lady through and through,like,give me some credit |
| [00:21.000] |
I knew I'd regret it,if I tried to blend in,and pretend,be something other than I am |
| [00:24.800] |
Like,have you noticed,I'm a woman,didn't come to downplay it |
| [00:28.490] |
Or to play it up either,and I'm not trying to pick a fight or be nobody's leader |
| [00:32.800] |
But it feels like everybody's just a little too interested,in the fact that females can indeed make music |
| [00:38.500] |
Our interviews,our bios,they all make it a point |
| [00:42.100] |
"Female fronted band,from Decatur,Illinois" |
| [00:44.000] |
And just once,I'd like to see some other bands resume,go out of their way to say they're fronted by a male,okay |
| [00:50.000] |
And while we're on it,let me say,woman don't all sound the same |
| [00:52.300] |
Who gave us the idea that female fronted is a genre anyway? |
| [00:56.000] |
Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh |
| [00:59.000] |
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh |
| [01:02.200] |
What's it like to be a girl-irl |
| [01:04.300] |
In the music wo-orld |
| [01:05.300] |
Oh,oh,oh,oh |
| [01:06.300] |
Wanna make it disappear-ear |
| [01:10.000] |
Tell me what they wanna he-ear |
| [01:12.000] |
If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me? |
| [01:14.800] |
Will you love me,love me,ugly |
| [01:17.000] |
And I know it's not fair,and I can't complain,cause with a girl in our band,people don't look away |
| [01:23.000] |
But you know what? |
| [01:24.300] |
It feels like they look,a little to long |
| [01:26.000] |
Stare me up and down,forget to listen to the song |
| [01:28.000] |
I take the stage and before I even open my mouth |
| [01:30.800] |
The audience assumes that they got us all figured out |
| [01:34.000] |
"Oh you band's got chick?Must be some kind of trick.There's no way she got this far without sucking somebody's--" |
| [01:40.000] |
Did you really think that's how it works!? I'm not ****ing eye candy! |
| [01:42.300] |
I'm here to do my job,I'll be the last man standing |
| [01:45.000] |
Boys in the crowd asking,for me to flash them.Well here you go!News flash,you're ignorant and that's that |
| [01:51.800] |
I bet you'd never say that to your little sister |
| [01:53.800] |
The media's got you all jacked up little mister |
| [01:57.000] |
Cause girls in my position can perpetuate the cycle,walking a tight rope,don't know which way to go |
| [02:02.000] |
Hypersexualize or downplay your femininity,dress like the dudes,or pray to God that you're pretty,are you kidding me!? I don' even know whose to blame |
| [02:10.000] |
Beauty sells,I'll buy it too!I'm trying to sell it back to you! |
| [02:13.700] |
Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh |
| [02:16.000] |
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh |
| [02:19.000] |
What's it like to be a girl-irl |
| [02:21.900] |
In the music wo-orld |
| [02:23.000] |
Oh,oh,oh,oh |
| [02:25.300] |
Wanna make it disappear-ear |
| [02:28.000] |
Tell me what they wanna he-ear |
| [02:30.000] |
If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me? |
| [02:32.900] |
Will you love me,love me,ugly |
| [02:36.000] |
So tell me,what's a woman to do |
| [02:38.000] |
No scratch that |
| [02:39.300] |
Tell me what's a human being to do with the fact that |
| [02:41.700] |
What gets us ahead holds us back more.Is a level playing field too much to ask for? |
| [02:47.000] |
And I know that by saying it,I'm bringing attention |
| [02:49.000] |
To an Issue that might be better left unmentioned |
| [02:52.100] |
But someone's gotta say it,gotta call out the scene |
| [02:55.500] |
The scene is obscene,my sanity's split at the seams |
| [02:58.000] |
So to all of y'all making this just about ass shit |
| [03:01.300] |
Here to set the record straight,it don't gotta be this way |
| [03:04.100] |
We can change the game,rearrange the way to fame |
| [03:06.700] |
And make a bigger deal about the talent than the face |
| [03:09.700] |
See I got little girls watching me,wanting to be like me |
| [03:12.000] |
I wanna show them that they don't gotta be like me |
| [03:14.600] |
They can do their own things,they can rewrite the rules |
| [03:17.300] |
They can get respect without acting like fools |
| [03:20.000] |
So lets not make it harder than it has to be |
| [03:23.000] |
I'll keep making music,you stop asking me |
| [03:26.000] |
What's it like to be a girl in the entertainment world |
| [03:28.800] |
Cuz now you know |
| [03:32.900] |
Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh |
| [03:36.300] |
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh |
| [03:39.300] |
What's it like to be a girl-irl |
| [03:41.200] |
In the music wo-orld |
| [03:43.300] |
Oh,oh,oh,oh |
| [03:44.900] |
Wanna make it disappear-ear |
| [03:47.100] |
Tell me what they wanna he-ear |
| [03:49.300] |
If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me? |
| [03:52.500] |
Will you love me,love me,ugly |
| [03:55.300] |
Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh |
| [03:58.100] |
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh |
| [04:02.000] |
