When you’re waving your pets favorite toy in front of their face And it’s so funny because they’re so excited And you’re holding all this power in your hands because you know that when you throw it They’re going to chase that toy. And if they lose the toy, you know how sad they’ll be. Being a woman in America is like being that pet. And there’s this man holding your freedom in your face Never knowing whether or not he’ll throw it.

Being a woman in America
When you’re waving your pets favorite toy in front of their face And it’s so funny because they’re so excited And you’re holding all this power in your hands because you know that when you throw it They’re going to chase that toy. And if they lose the toy, you know how sad they’ll be. Being a woman in America is like being that pet. And there’s this man holding your freedom in your face Never knowing whether or not he’ll throw it.
