Protest The Hero - Turn Soonest To The Sea
Do You Remember How It Was When You Bled? When You Loved And Burned In Those Flames That You`ve Kept Because Vesta`s Long Been Sleeping And Now You`ve Come To Accept That Your Anatomy Defines More Than A Few Of The Gaping Holes In Our Social Fabric More Than A Few One Night Stands, More Than A Few Prison Bars Melted Into Wedding Bands We`ve Made You All The Peasants And We`ve Made Ourselves The Kings Our Queens Are Still Subordinate As An Angel Without Wings We Make It Easy To Belong Which Means It`s Easy To Be Wrong "put Some Plastic In Your Tits, And You`d Look Better As A Blonde" I Remember When You Were Hopeful And You Never Thought Your Life Would Be Lived Inside A Coffin With A Moral Sacrifice And A Million Social Obligations, Labels And Expectations You Were Young And Modern Seventeen In Vogue And Vague Pursuit Of A Cosmopolitan Dream When You Bled On The Bed As You Fed Those Expectations As A Whore And Not A Human You Embraced With Hesitation The Parameters Of All You Can Be Not A Mother, Not An Aunt, Not A Sister Who`s Not Subdued Because Dignity`s Not Physical And Your Flesh Means More Than You Your Flesh Means More Than You; Your Flesh Means More Than You Your Flesh Means More Than You; Your Flesh Means More Than You I Know We`ll Wake Up One Day With A Gun To The Back Of Our Brains You`ll Be Asking For Your Rib And I`ll Smile And Call You Brave Maybe Someday When This Bloody Skull Has Dried I`ll Know Our City Is In Ruins And The Greatest Source Of Pride Is A Monument Of Dicks And Ribs And Gender Crowns We Wore Where Underneath, A Plaque Will Read, "no Woman Is A Whore"
