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"
