lyrics

downtown streets bounce the echo
of all place and all time
revolt's static glow
television multiplied
i'm dressing up to drink highballs
a man glosses all his mind,
"there's nothing wrong with this cat call
the pretty ladies--they just like the vibe"
oh! what a suburban lifestyle
bursting with those floral dresses
lawyers and doctors they reconcile
a system that oppresses

she was over 30
put her hair up in a bun
knew her way around the office
controlled the warmth of a gun

with hair trimmed above their ears
matched in style and in grace
men will conform and fall into fear
their laughter locked up inside of their rage
there's no selling my emotions
when they get all tangled up in legs
death and life mirror devotion
to some higher realm of praise...

she was over 30
put her hair up in a bun
knew her way around the office
oh! she loves--she loves everyone

i will sell my soul to Death
give it all from breath to breath
i am not what they expect
AT ALL
