lyrics

I’m not going to try to tell you that I’m different from all the rest.
I’ve been subject to the same de-structure of desire
and I’ve felt the same effects
I’m a hetero-sexist tragedy.
And potential rapists all are we.

But don’t tell me this is natural.
This is nurturing.
There’s a difference between sexism and sexuality.
I had different desires prior to my role-remodelling.
At six years of age you don’t challenge their claims.
You become the same
or withdraw from the game and hang your head in shame.

I think that’s exactly what I did.
I tried to sever the connections
between me and them.
I fought against their

further attempts to convince a kid that birthright can bestow
the power to yield the subordination of women
and do you know what patricentricity means?
I found out just a couple of days/months/years/minutes ago.
It means male values uber alles and hey! Whaddaya know…

sex has been distorted and vilified.
I’m afraid of my attraction to body types.
If everything desired is objectified
then maybe eroticism needs to be redefined.

I refuse to be a “man.”
