So-Called Land of The Free

Our bodies are not our own​

They ignore us when we speak​

We want to try and live our lives​

But they decide what\'s best for each​

​

We can\'t be too revealing​

Although they prefer no clothes at all​

They shout at us like we\'re objects​

But it\'s a \"compliment\" not a catcall​

​

We don\'t care how good you think we look​

Or how badly you need one dance​

But boys will be boys​

Just give him a second chance

 

\"She\'s gonna be a heartbreaker\"​

They say as if it\'s some sort of goal​

We\'re more than just objects of lust​

And that labels a burden that takes a toll​

​

We\'re your mothers, sisters, and daughters too​

But for us life will never be as easy as it is for you​

​

This is a mans world​

Women just live in it​

​

We want to open their eyes​

But they\'ll never truly see​

Our bodies are not our own​

Yet somehow we\'re supposedly free
