never walk alone at night never wear your skirt too tight always shave your ***** hair head down now, avoid their stare don't touch yourself, that's just for him oh but not for her, that's a sin don't get drunk, you'll be blamed for actions that you cannot tame watch your mouth, imperatives are banned for you're labeled bossy if you command stand up straight, never slouch keep your legs shut on the couch eat too much and you're far too fat eat too little, you're worth less than that insecure, oh, what for? confident? then you're a ***** naked face, spots and all you might as well hide behind a wall painted and pretty, just what they want unnatural and fake, the endless taunt so how do you win when it's lose lose lose "boys will be boys" try standing in our shoes.
