lyrics

Have you ever been wandering
Day or night
Cause the streetlight won’t keep you safe and
Neither will the sunlight

And I’m always wondering
Why the same ol’ story never seems to change
You’re trying to scream out of your skin
But when you do you know that you are going
To get the blame

{CHORUS}
So take what you’ve been told and throw it
Right out the window
We’ll have you shakin’ in your bones
Cause the truth can be so damn cold

And yeah you heard it right, I made a misogynist cry
In a Portland motel with no working stove
We all smoked enough to make the rain come inside
And you said you were starving 

So I gave you my last can
You couldn’t wait to complain and said
Make it woman…
But instead, I gave you a slice of my mind

{CHORUS}

I pushed you down into the depths of your mind
The years of conditioning making you blind
When we should be teaching how not to harm
Not just how to hide

My dear friend
I’m so thankful I saw you that night
You brought me the strength to give him a hell of a fight

{CHORUS}

I’d like to dedicate this to all of my friends
To those who don’t identify with opposite ends
To those becoming who they know they were meant to be
This isn’t just about people who look like me

{CHORUS}
