Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh
What's it like to be a girl-irl
In the music wo-orld
Oh,oh,oh,oh
This scene is so sexist,believe me,I get it
We'd probably sell more records if I flaunted my ass and chest,but forget it
I work like one of the boys and I'm as true as they get
But I'm a lady through and through,like,give me some credit
I knew I'd regret it,if I tried to blend in,and pretend,be something other than I am
Like,have you noticed,I'm a woman,didn't come to downplay it
Or to play it up either,and I'm not trying to pick a fight or be nobody's leader
But it feels like everybody's just a little too interested,in the fact that females can indeed make music
Our interviews,our bios,they all make it a point
"Female fronted band,from Decatur,Illinois"
And just once,I'd like to see some other bands resume,go out of their way to say they're fronted by a male,okay
And while we're on it,let me say,woman don't all sound the same
Who gave us the idea that female fronted is a genre anyway?
Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh
What's it like to be a girl-irl
In the music wo-orld
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Wanna make it disappear-ear
Tell me what they wanna he-ear
If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me?
Will you love me,love me,ugly
And I know it's not fair,and I can't complain,cause with a girl in our band,people don't look away
But you know what?
It feels like they look,a little to long
Stare me up and down,forget to listen to the song
I take the stage and before I even open my mouth
The audience assumes that they got us all figured out
"Oh you band's got chick?Must be some kind of trick.There's no way she got this far without sucking somebody's--"
Did you really think that's how it works!? I'm not ****ing eye candy!
I'm here to do my job,I'll be the last man standing
Boys in the crowd asking,for me to flash them.Well here you go!News flash,you're ignorant and that's that
I bet you'd never say that to your little sister
The media's got you all jacked up little mister
Cause girls in my position can perpetuate the cycle,walking a tight rope,don't know which way to go
Hypersexualize or downplay your femininity,dress like the dudes,or pray to God that you're pretty,are you kidding me!? I don' even know whose to blame
Beauty sells,I'll buy it too!I'm trying to sell it back to you!
Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh
What's it like to be a girl-irl
In the music wo-orld
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Wanna make it disappear-ear
Tell me what they wanna he-ear
If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me?
Will you love me,love me,ugly
So tell me,what's a woman to do
No scratch that
Tell me what's a human being to do with the fact that
What gets us ahead holds us back more.Is a level playing field too much to ask for?
And I know that by saying it,I'm bringing attention
To an Issue that might be better left unmentioned
But someone's gotta say it,gotta call out the scene
The scene is obscene,my sanity's split at the seams
So to all of y'all making this just about ass shit
Here to set the record straight,it don't gotta be this way
We can change the game,rearrange the way to fame
And make a bigger deal about the talent than the face
See I got little girls watching me,wanting to be like me
I wanna show them that they don't gotta be like me
They can do their own things,they can rewrite the rules
They can get respect without acting like fools
So lets not make it harder than it has to be
I'll keep making music,you stop asking me
What's it like to be a girl in the entertainment world
Cuz now you know
Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh
What's it like to be a girl-irl
In the music wo-orld
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Wanna make it disappear-ear
Tell me what they wanna he-ear
If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me?
Will you love me,love me,ugly
Seem like everywhere I go,oh,oh,oh
Everybody wanna know,oh,oh,oh
What's it like to be a girl-irl
In the music wo-orld
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Wanna make it disappear-ear
Tell me what they wanna he-ear
If the truth ain't pretty,will you all stay with me?
Will you love me,love me,ugly
