Fuck the patriarchy! Also, feelings!

lyrics

Ok, I've been told, time and time again, that I'd never be a real man.
And I know you've put with so much worse than that, since you can remember.
Down with the media, and teachings of aggression, dominance and masculine supremacy
What if our instead, were just full of love, and everything we need?

"Come on now that's just human nature now"-well that's the lie we're told, every single day

It's like I don't want this body, it's like I don't want this brain, it's like I don't want this masculinity weighing on my head again
It's like you don't want these system, and you know what's to blame
and you don't really want this patriarchy weighing on your soul again
Cause you just wanna walk in safety, and I don't wanna be a man,
we just wanna be whatever it is that we feel like we can
And all these gendered boxes, are causing so much pain, they weigh a thousand pounds, come crashing down again.

I can't articulate, these words are always failing, the toxicity of manliness and
We can be something better, something beautiful, something new and now
Refuse to be a bro, refuse to dominate, refuse to resort to objectification
Let sadness fill your heart, let it tear you apart, and raise imagination

"Come on well that's just human nature now"-well that's the lie we're told, every single day

It's like I don't want this body, it's like I don't want this brain, it's like I don't want this masculinity weighing on my head again
It's like you don't want these system, and you know what's to blame
and you don't really want this patriarchy weighing on your soul again
Cause you just wanna walk in safety, and I don't wanna be a man,
we just wanna be whatever it is that we feel like we can
And all these gendered boxes, are causing so much pain, they weigh a thousand pounds, come crashing down again.

Down again!

about

Qfolk Liverpool, UK

Shouty, embarrassingly sincere, and sometimes political, Qfolk has been compared to Tom Waits and Cookie Monster. Angery sad fast loud music against all the things that suck!
