lyrics

They tried to break us, tried to tear us apart
'cause they know that strength lies in many, not one.
They tried to trap us in an unwinnable game with ever-changing rules,
inescapable shame.
Just because of who we are.
No.
If that's the game, then we pass.
We forfeit, we quit, kiss our ass.
We never signed up for this shit.
No.
Internalizing their hate.
Dissecting ourselves in a mirror - why would we repeat that on someone else?
They taught snap judgments based on hemlines, hair and skin and nails, but we just don't buy it.
It's our choice and we like it.
We deserve respect and we all look perfect.
We weren't born judging one another.
It was drummed into us long ago,
now reinforced and monetized with celebrity feuds.
Who wore it best?
Who fucking cares?
Who fucking cares?
Who fucking cares?
Who fucking cares?
They can't keep us down forever.
We can unlearn these vicious lies.
We will thrive if we stick together.
Butch from birth or femme as fuck.
We reject all options they choose.
We stand here as one, win or lose.
We, power to be reckoned with.
We love beyond any limits.
Just be you.
