about

For the final track, once again, the news guided me to my next topic. The Kavanaugh hearings were happening, and I was feeling particularly disgusted by the words and actions of way too many men in the world. Though all the lyrics were initially written with this subject in mind, the chorus and final section of the song really apply to every piece of the entire album’s message. “Centuries of patriarchy have made this mess…” and “It’s up to me and you to make a difference. Pull through, don’t let fear behind us.” This ended up being an appropriate concluding statement.

lyrics

What can I do to make a difference?
Speak up. But it’s not enough

Don’t give me, “boys will be boys”
There’s no excuse for misogyny
Educate, communicate
Toxic masculinity makes me sick
Keep your hands to yourself
Shut your loud, obnoxious mouth, bro
No one owes you anything
The way you talk, the way you walk
The way you feel you need to let everyone know you’re there
It’s disgusting

I know you don’t care if I’m unimpressed
But you’re a disgrace to our gender

Centuries of patriarchy have made this mess
Old rich white Christian men
Forcing us into their warped reality
They’ll be the death of us all

Loathsome men abusing their privilege and power
Violating women to please themselves
They deserve nothing but punishment and oppression

If this world was run by women, we would all be much better off

Centuries of patriarchy have made this mess
Old rich white Christian men
Forcing us into their ideology
They’ll be the death of us all

What can I do to make a difference?
Speak up. But it’s not enough
It’s up to me and you to make a difference
Pull through, don’t let fear beat us
