oh to grow up gagged and blindfolded a man's world in your little girl's head the voice of the great mother drowned out in the constant honking haunting the car crash up ahead oh to grow up hypnotized and try to shake yourself awake cuz you can sense what has been lost cuz you can sense what is at stakeyeah, so it took me a few years to catch on that those days i catch everyone's eye correspond with those nights of the month when the moon gleams like an egg in the sky and men are using a sense they don't even know they have just to watch me walk by and me, i'm supposed to be sensible leave my animal outside to crybut when all of nature conspires to make me her glorious whore it's cuz in my body i hold the secret recipe of precisely what life is for and the patriarchy that looks to shame me for it is the same one making war.......to split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do so girl if that shit ain't up to you then you simply are not free cuz from the sunlight on my hair to which eggs i grow to term to the expression that i wear all i really own is me yes to split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do goddess forbid that little atom should grow so jealous of eve and in the face of the great farce of the nuclear age feminism ain't about equality it's about reprieve-ANI Difranco!!!
