[Intro]
Seem like everywhere I go, everybody wanna know
"What's it like to be a girl, in the music world?"
[Verse 1]
The scene is so sexist, believe me I get it, we'd probably sell more records if I flaunted my ass and chest but forget it
I work like one of the boys, and I'm as true as they get
But I'm a lady through and through, like give me some credit
I knew I'd regret it if I tried to blend in and pretend
Be something other than I am
Like have you noticed I'm a woman
Didn't come to downplay it, or to play it up either
And I'm not trying pick a fight or be nobody's leader
But it feels like everybody's just a little too interested
In the fact that females can indeed make music
Our interviews, our bios, - they all make it a point
"Female Fronted Band, from Decatur, Illinois"
And just once, I'd like to see some other band's resumé go out of their way to say they're fronted by a male, ok?
And while we're on it, let me say
Women don't all sound the same
Who gave us the idea that "Female Fronted” is a genre anyway?
[Chorus]
Seem like everywhere I go, everybody wanna know
"What's it like to be a girl, in the music world?"
Wanna make it disappear, tell 'em what they wanna hear
If truth ain't pretty will you all stay with me
Will you love me, love me ugly?
