about

WE WROTE THIS SONG BECAUSE WE THINK GENDER STEREOTYPES ARE STUPID, AND TRYING TO DEFINE YOURSELF BASED ENTIRELY ON YOUR GENITALIA IS ONLY GOING TO LIMIT WHO YOU ARE. WE ARE ALL MORE THAN SIMPLY A MAN OR A WOMAN, WE ARE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE AND WE'RE ALL FUCKED UP IN OUR OWN, SPECIAL WAYS!

lyrics

Don't listen to a word she says,
For fear of all your scathing friends.
You know they'll call you pussy whipped,
Because being a man means you know best.
You're just a prick if you feel obliged,
To dismiss your sisters, friends and wives,
For the blatantly overly heinous crime,
Of being humans of the female kind!

We don't want to be,
Part of your fuck machine!
I don't want to be a man,
I'll be the person that I am!

Abstaining from the status quo,
Of sexist men with sexist jokes.
They'll say that you're not one of them,
Effeminate and not a man!

Because emotion is the enemy,
Find comfort in misogyny.
“Feelings are a female trait,
Suck it in, stand up straight!”

We don't want to be complicit,
We won't be defined,
By gender roles and prejudice,
Outdated stereotypes!
Don't tell us what we are,
Don't tell us who to be,
Because if freedom isn't free to all,
Then that's not unity!

If we accept the limitations,
Of the gender we're assigned,
Then we fan the flames of ignorance,
We need to re-define,
The way we treat each other,
And the values that we hold.
Humanity's been twisted
By the lies that we've been told!

We don't want to be,
Part of your fuck machine!
I don't want to be a man,
I'll be the person that I am!
