Welcome to the patriarchy there's too much to say
Medicine was all designed for men
But women aren't the same

"Be youthful." "Be pretty." And "don't show your skin."
But they'll blame your looks if you're successful in anything

Welcome to the patriarchy
Take a look around
People can't afford the tax on pads or breastfeed when they're out

And men can't even cry without perception they're weak
And nothing's gonna change unless wе get up and speak

Welcomе to the patriarchy
Here's some of the ways
That it's also hurting males so we should all want it to change

"Go man up." "Don't cry."
"Don't you dare paint your skin."
You don't want to be perceived as "weak" or "not masculine."

Welcome to the patriarchy
Take a look around
If they're r____ or they're a______
They're afraid they can't speak out

It's not normalized for men to talk when they are in pain
Cause if they dare show their emotions they'll be bullied and shamed

Welcome to the patriarchy
Gender is defined
By a binary of rules from birth you can not reassign

"Women should stick to the kitchen."
While, "men should work and provide"
"your genitals are physical proof or your gender assigned."

"Gender fluid is impossible there's only X and Y."
"It's just a trend to flip between them."
"Why don't you make up your mind?"

"Love the body you were born with," even if it doesn't fit
"You're just desperate for attention."
"Choose a side and get a grip." So

Welcome to the patriarchy
Here nobody wins
Expectations fall upon you from the moment you begin

Why would you not what to break it?
There's so much constraint
How we live is so outdated
And we need it to change

Could I interest you in gender norms all of the time?
NO I want to stop the gender norms, now is the time

Society is anarchy and we are so behind
I'm finished playing and I'm ready to fight

Could I interest you in gender norms all of the time?
NO I want to stop the gender norms, now is the time

Society is anarchy and we are so behind
I'm finished playing and I'm ready to fight
