Seem like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Oh, oh, oh, oh
This 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 to 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 résumé Go out of their way to say their fronted by a male, okay? 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?
Seem like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Oh, oh, oh, oh Wanna make it disappear? Tell'em what they wanna hear If the truth ain't pretty, will you all stay with me? Will you love me, love me ugly?
And I know it's not fair, and I can't complain Cause with a girl in our band, people don't look away But you know what? Feels like they look just a little too long Stare me up and down, forget to listen to the song I take the stage and before I even open my mouth The audience assumes that they got us all figured out "Oh, your band's got a chick, must be some kind of trick "There's no way she got this far without sucking somebody's ..."
And did you really think that's how it works? I'm not fucking eye candy I'm here to do my job, I'll be the last man standing Boys in the crowd asking, for me to flash them Well here you go, news flash: you're ignorant and that's that I bet you'd never say that to your little sister The media's got you all jacked up little mister 'Cause girls in my position can perpetuate the cycle Walking a tight rope, don't know which way to go
Hypersexualize or downplay your femininity Dress like the dudes, or pray to God that you're pretty Are you kidding me!? I don't even know who's to blame Beauty sells, I'll buy it too I'm trying to sell it back to you!
Seem like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Oh, oh, oh, oh Wanna make it disappear Tell'em what they wanna hear If the truth ain't pretty, will you all stay with me? Will you love me, love me ugly?
So tell me, what's a woman to do? Nah, scratch that Tell me, what's a human being to do With the fact that What gets ahead, holds us back more Is a level playing field too much to ask for? And I know that by saying it, I'm bringing attention To an issue that might be better left unmentioned But someone's gotta say it, gotta call out the scene The scene is obscene, my sanity's split at the seams
So to all of y'all, making this, just about ass and tits Here to set the record straight, it don't gotta be this way We can change the game, re-arrange the way to fame And make a bigger deal about the talent than the face
See I got little girls watching me, want to be like me I wanna show them, they don't gotta be like me They can do their own thing, they can rewrite the rules They can get respect without acting like fools!
So let's not make it harder than it has to be I'll keep making music, you stop asking me "What's it like to be a girl, in the entertainment world?" Cause now you know
Seem like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Oh, oh, oh, oh Wanna make it disappear Tell'em what they wanna hear If the truth ain't pretty, will you all stay with me? Will you love me, love me ugly?
Seem like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Oh, oh, oh, oh Wanna make it disappear Tell'em what they wanna hear If the truth ain't pretty, will you all stay with me? Will you love me, love me ugly?
