21st century girl
all the times when i feel self doubt i dig down deep and pull it out
all your alcohol and pills won’t cure or kill
the power of this 21st century girl
i’m a 21st century girl (feel my power)
bloody hands and a conscience that is clean (fear my power)
i’m a 21st century girl (say it louder now)
hey turn it up and get undone
don’t need your poison to cloud my brain. self-esteem is my one true fame
keep trying to find someone else to blame but to
deny your real-true-self should be your only shame
i’m a 21st century girl (feel my power)
bloody hands and a conscience that is clean (fear my power)
i’m a 21st century girl (say it louder now)
hey turn it up and get undone
i got my demons hell i ain’t no saint. don’t try to tell me that i’m something i ain’t
you said three words but i only heard one
like i’m the world’s new fortunate son
i’m a 21st century girl (feel my power)
bloody hands and a conscience that is clean (fear my power)
i’m a 21st century girl (say it louder now)
hey turn it up and get undone
i’m yr friend! i’m yr revolution!
you came up short so they left you behind
you’re the prey no one wants to chase
it’s hard to see when you keep yourself blind
pushing the hair from your face
we’ve all had to run through the shadows
we’ve all been to hell once or twice
you got no friends
you got no revolution
you got no friends
you got no
i see the wolf staring me down
sucking the cracks in his teeth
as if my bones breaking from words
were just as good as the meat
we’ve all had to run through the shadows
we’ve all been to hell once or twice
i got my friends
i got my revolution
i got my friends
i got my
it never ends, this competition
my instincts tell me to be aware
i’m not here for a confrontation
with the girl in the back w/ the catty stare
we’ve all had to run through the shadows
we’ve all been to hell once or twice
i’m yr friend
i’m yr revolution
i’m yr friend
i’m yr revolution
power
who has the power
who has the power
it’s not you it’s not me
who else can it be
they pit us against each other
(yeah we’ve been framed they set us up)
they try to tell me you are wrong
(no way no way no way)
we’re both on the bottom of the pyramid
we hold them up and make them strong
false imbalances created
(yeah we’ve been framed they set us up)
on separate sides of the line
(no way no way no way)
you can’t take notice of their privilege
cuz youre too busy being jealous of mine
we gotta see what’s goin on
we gotta see we’re being used
we gotta see they’re messin us up
we gotta see we gotta see we gotta seeeeee
maybe she’s born with it
she wants to criticize me
she’s always tryin to size me size me up
she said she can’t recognize me
unless i’m a smooth operator
she said that we should take the backseat
to the heartbeats of the ones that we love
i’ll never ever take the backseat
to this not-so-smooth operator
i’m feelin this thing out
she’s lookin at me through shiny paper
i’m feelin so stupid now
nothing’s gonna change from this conversation
maybe she just doesn’t remember
seeing girl dolls being dismembered
or maybe she just don’t care
she raises an eyebrow to the thought that she’s been cheated
she’s tellin me all of her secrets
the rituals of the feminine
but i just can’t believe that
i’d ever be a prisoner in my own skin
i’m feelin this thing out
she’s lookin at me through shiny paper
i’m feelin so stupid now
nothing’s gonna change from this conversation
MAYBE SHE’S BORN WITH IT

whisky
lemme tell you somethin
mama told me a long time ago
she said, look here little one,
don’t lose your head,
don’t get too caught up with those things in your bed.
and if your heart should start to shrivel up a little black and cold,
it’s for the best, little baby, cuz a cold-hearted lady don’t worry none about her soul.
gimme two shots of your whisky (1 2)
gimme now a couple more (3 4)
make it three this time, i’ll be feelin so fine
i’ll just dance myself right out your door (watch me go now)
lemme tell ya somethin
i shoulda said a long time ago
you’re not too bad between the sheets
but baby i can’t sleep
when you look like the devil and you act like a thief.
so when your karma starts to push you up against the wall,
you’re on your own, little baby, cuz a cold-hearted lady won’t stick around to watch you fall.
gimme two shots of your whisky (1 2)
gimme now a couple more (3 4)
make it three this time, i’ll be feelin so fine
i’ll just dance myself right out your door (watch me go now)
warrior
you’ll scare the mountains into hiding
the beasts that bite will come out looking for you
they can only smell you if yr dying
so be alive in everything that you do
with guts of handmade weapons
she is a warrior
you are a warrior
you’ll cut your way through concrete jungles
you’ll battle shadows on yr bedroom wall
leave a trail of smoke just like the devil
pythons that stalk you will find nothing at all
with guts of handmade weapons
she is a warrior
you are a warrior
from birds of prey, your hands are scarred
screaming in your ear, ever so faint
running for your life right from the start
wearing well-kept secrets like war paint
you cannot defeat me! i’m not going anywhere
you can’t make the scene! look, baby, i’m still here
with guts of handmade weapons
she is a warrior
you are a warrior
