strike chords that cut like a knife
give me scene where the music is free
were passing the time
while time passes us
dont lose touch
you can walk away but there is a reason to stay
i cant relate with someone who continues to be fake
and your words have proven to be NOTHING
we are the beginning and ending of everything
Because woman's work is underpaid or unpaid & what we look like is more important than what we do & if we get raped it is our fault & if we love women it's because we can't get a real man & if we expect community care for our family we are selfish & if we stand up for our rights we are loud & if we don't we are typical weak females & if we want to get married we are out to trap a man & if we don't we are unnatural & because we aren't deemed responsible enough to decide if, when and how we give birth... WE ARE FEMINISTS.
-Joyce Stevens, 1975
Dont tell a man that he cant come here cause he got brown eyes and a wavy kind of hair, And dont tell a woman that she cant go there because she prays a little different to a God up there. You say youre a Christian, cause God made you you, say youre a Muslim cause god made you, You say youre a Hindu, and the next man a Jew, Then we all kill each other cause God told us to.
-Michael Franti
