one day I had this man come up to me he said oh honey why are you smoking
I said fuck off it’s none of your business of course i didn’t really say that it just repeated in my mind
so i just smiled and said politely oh haha oh please
and he just shook his head and said to me ‘smoking is ugly’
well fuck you for making my worth on beauty
fuck you for saying i’m wrong to be angry
fuck you for making me smile politely
about the issues of the world that affect half of the population
one day i had this boy come up to me he said oh why aren’t you wearing anything i said
why are you taught this its none of your business what clothes i choose
but of course i just smiled and said politely i’m wearing clothes that is enough for me
but i walked away so heavily and pulled my top up and pulled myself down
well fuck you for making my worth on beauty
fuck you for saying i’m wrong to be angry
fuck you for making me smile politely
about the issues of the world that affect half of the population
then i had these guys drive by, they didn’t even try to look me in the eye
they just shouted slurs and honked their horn at me so i stuck up two to them and showed them to be sorry
but of course i didn’t do that, i just looked down to the floor and pulled on my hat
put my headphones on, blasted it out, tried to laugh it off politely
well fuck you for making my worth on beauty
fuck you for saying i’m wrong to be angry
fuck you for making me smile politely
about the issues of the world that affect half of the population
and then when i said to him i dont like this gin it tastes a little funny it tastes a little thin
he just laughed and shook his head at me and said i’ve had too much to drink
went upstairs, heard some people fuck, wanting to leave then saying please, but of course he wouldn’t take my answer wouldn’t take my pleads oh noo
well fuck you for making my worth on beauty
fuck you for saying i’m wrong to be angry
fuck you for making me smile politely
about the issues of the world that affect half of the population
fuck you (multiple times)
fuck you for saying i’m wrong to be angry
about the issues of the world that affect half of the population

dont go telling me who to be like
dont go shouting at me to condition my brain
dont go showing me all your bullshit schemes
i dont care anymore

Because I am my own person I am my own
I am my own spirit i am my own
and you cannot crush me
change me
you cannot change me
you cannot change me
you cannot change me
you cannot change me
dont go sneaking around and when you get found
don't deny all of it to me
don't u know I know of your motives
but i dont care anymore
i dont care anymore
anymore
Because I am my own person I am my own
I am my own spirit i am my own
and you cannot crush me
you cannot change me
change me
you cannot change me
you cannot change me
you cannot change me
so don't go down alone
because i don't like being called a hoe
a hoe a hoe a hoe
don’t leave yourself alone
because i don’t like picking up the phone
(many) 'ohs' (some) ah ya ya's
Because I am my own person I am my own
I am my own spirit i am my own
and you cannot crush me
you cannot change me
change me
you cannot change me (some) yeahs
you cannot change me
you cannot change me
you cannot change me

You Say Meat Is Murder
04:12

You say meat is murder
Well so is dairy
I can hear their screams
Calling after their young
You say meat is murder
Well so are eggs
Male chicks aren’t meant to be bred
So they’re grinded up alive
It doesn’t matter if its humane
Its just a label
There’s no free range
It’s all a lie to get you to buy into the mass murder
Of the beings
I’ve seen what you’re seeing
Don’t buy into this lie
You say meat is murder
Well so is leather
Wearing the skin of another being
I’ve never heard of something so disgusting
You say meat is murder
Well so is wearing wool
Don’t believe the myth we’re all
Told, it’s their fur, we don’t need it
It doesn’t matter if its humane
Its just a label
There’s no free range
It’s all a lie to get you to buy into the mass murder
Of the beings
I’ve seen what you’re seeing
Don’t buy into this lie
You say meat is murder
So is honey
You say well it’s fine they were gassed
The point is it’s supposed to be okay to be gassed
You say meat is murder
So is captivity
Of all of these innocent beings
This isn’t the way they’re spose to live
It doesn’t matter if its humane
Its just a label
There’s no free range
It’s all a lie to get you to buy into the mass murder
Of the beings
I’ve seen what you’re seeing
Don’t buy into this lie
2 billion heart beats stop
2 billion dreams are forgot
2 billion animals murdered every week
for a 20 minute meal
It doesn’t matter if its humane
Its just a label
There’s no free range
It’s all a lie to get you to buy into the mass murder
Of the beings
I’ve seen what you’re seeing
Don’t buy into this lie

Running Out
05:24
|

you often ask me casey what is wrong
you often assume my gender even now singing this song
you often speak to me like i’m still a child with no dignity
well dignity i have
patience i’m running out
im running ouuuut x2
you often tell me my gender excites you
you often act like i should be at another zoo
you often think that it’s okay to ask ignorant question
well answers i have
patience i’m running out
running ouuuuuut x2
you often make out you’re the victim when its your privilege
you often say transphobic things that normalises it
you often say speciesist, racist or other sexist things
well forgiveness i have
patience i’m running out
running ouuuuut x2
so don't tell me how to feel
about the oppression that i receive
don’t tell me that you find my gender interesting
bc my gender isn’t for you to find interesting
my gender isn’t for you to comment on
my gender isn’t for you to laugh upon
i’m running ouuuuut
i’m running out x5
my patience is running out

Ignorance
03:10
|

Dont tell me not to be angry
My emotions are valid
Dont tell me to sit their quietly
My voice should be heard, even if this world aint ready
Your ignorance is not an ecxuse
For the abuse that I face everyday
Your ignorance is not a way
You can undermine me
Your ignorance is not an excuse
For the abuse that I face everyday
Your ignorance is not a way
You can undermine me
Stop touching me, without my permission
Stop patronising me, using your discretion
Stop gaslighting me, I’m not yours to light up
Stop mansplanning me, i know it’s not ALL FUCKING MEN
Your ignorance is not an excuse
For the abuse that I face everyday
Your ignorance is not a way
You can undermine me
Your ignorance is not an excuse
For the abuse that I face everyday
Your ignorance is not a way
You can undermine me
You better stop x2 and dont u dare reply with this
What you gonna do about - well imma tell you what im gonna fucking do about it
You better stop x2 unless you want this nasty ass trip
We’re all coming together finally after ur atrocity standing up against this shit
Your ignorance is not an excuse
For the abuse that I face everyday
Your ignorance is not a way
You can undermine me
Your ignorance is not an excuse
For the abuse that I face everyday
Your ignorance is not a way
You can undermine me
