lyrics

What if I am only 28 tonight
Im not young but I I feel alright
And I know Im not the prettiest
And I know im not the best
But I surely hope he at least says goodbye

Cause I was raised to look down
In the land of the macho men
Where us women are doomed dead at 32
but the old boys in their shorts
with their dreams of punk rock
still play us like an old pinball machine

PRECORO
what if im not ready
to go down without a fight
what if I start a revolution
being what they dont waaaant me
to beeee

CORO
It the time
To take back
What was taken long ago
No more broken hearts
And lies about where we want to go
this is not nearly over
this is not nearly over
Lets go to war

What if I am just a pretty young girl tonight?
Will it let you respect me, or just stare at my back?
And we are doing our best
And fighting the good fight
But its hard not to get cynical in these times

Cause we were raised to look fine
In a land that is not our own
Where everybody justifies when we get killed?
And the boys with no concerns
Walk around like the own the earth
Still play us like an old pinball machine

PRECORO
what if im not ready
to go down without a fight
what if I start a revolution
being what they dont waaaant me
to beeee

CORO
It the time
To take back
What was taken long ago
No more broken hearts
And lies about where we want to go
this is not nearly over
this is not nearly over
Lets go to war
