I’ve always thought you was right
Because you tell me you are
So I took it as gospel, didn’t ask
But I’m learning new things everyday
Remembering what you’d say about them
Adding two with two and getting five
I’ve always thought you was always right
But you can be wrong
You can be nasty
You can be human
So why have you spent my life
Telling me about what I’m doing?
If I disagree, I do it only because I can
Because why else would a woman
Disagree with a man?
If I disagree, I just want to be different
I do have wisdom on all my viewpoints
If only you would listen
Cos I know the right answer now
I hold the monopoly on brains
I could unleash every iota of my education
But I refrain
I could drain your little world
Turn it into stain
Under the big boot I’ve laced up
As I walk through the city again
I’ve seen things you’ll never see, not never seen
I’ve been higher than you’ve ever been
I’ve been told no before and heard maybe
So maybe you should undo your jeans
Slip the belt off, roll buttons to your knees
Unsqueeze, part cheeks
And put your totalitarian advice right up your jacksee
I am a woman of my own autonomy
My own experience and you probably
Are used to blokes who beckon to your call
At the click of grubby digits
And that’s why you fidget when I shake my head
From ear to ear
That’s why all you hear is female mosquitoism
Something to slap out of the air
With no repeat to listen
Something to wave off and squash
Before it sucks to be so big
Something that’s finally learnt to swerve
That clapping hand so quick
I see how wrong you are
And how consistently
The worst offence
Being how you shit on me
I see how wrong you are
And how often
So let me let you in
To soften
I don’t lose respect for you when you’ve fucked it
Like you do me
I don’t burn the house down over mistakes
Or freak out when you misspeak
I’ve got no interest in demeaning you
Got no party in your shame
And I certainly don’t find you new insecurities
And then pass to you the blame
I never did get the woman/man thing
Knew the differences but didn’t over exercise the thought
But now I see, that you and me, clash biology
And that’s something I weren’t taught
Men are naturally stronger
I’ll give you that as a talking point
But it doesn’t mean you should make me feel weak
Still, I’ve considered an argument without you
And the peace is pretty fucking bleak
So let’s keep whittling each other down
See how funky we can make the statues
You’ll say I’m wrong about all of this, just cos
And my reply’s, “right back at you.”
