linger, still

well, you could put the blame on Virginia Woolf
or you could blame Bikini Kill
you could put it to the woman vote
but all of your prejudices linger, still
I were holding my tongue
all of each of every day
the problem that has no name
never seems to go away
you could blame it on the suffragettes
or you could blame Bratmobile
you could quote the Oedepius Complex
another weapon on the gender battlefield
I were holding my tongue
all of each of every day
the problem that has no name
never seems to go away
and as the blame game goes round in a circular direction,
I’ve come to think that the answer’s less important than the question
well, you could put the blame on Margaret Atwood,
Sleater-Kinney or Betty Friedan
or you could put it to those mighty Pankhursts
Emmaline, Christabel and Sylvia
I were clenching my fists
all of each of every minute
the only reason this problem exists
is on the ones who perpetuate it

so take my broken soul
I took it to the North West coast
Southport, Lytham, the lot
I give it all I got
but what I got is what I give
and frankly, that don’t mean shit
I ended up in the nearest pub - in a wave of whiskey
I ended up drunk as fuck - doesn’t surprise me much
so take my bleak future
and it can feel like no one in the entire world does care
so I took a trip to the shores of the Mersey
a place I thought I were always meant to be
I skipped a rock; a policeman came up and he said stop
I ended up in the nearest pub - in a wave of whiskey
I ended up drunk as fuck - doesn’t surprise me much
take my broken mind
kinda feeling like I’m halfway between being dead or alive
truth be told, I were never one to adhere to the status quo
and leave us be, I always found beauty in the mystique
I ended up in the nearest pub - in a wave of whiskey
I ended up drunk as fuck - doesn’t surprise me much
I ended up in the nearest pub - in a wave of whiskey
I ended up drunk as fuck - doesn’t surprise me much
