“So we can fuck this man's world, With all its bullshit, Girls don't deserve it. We ain't good girls: We are scholastic, Smart and sarcastic, Not fucking plastic. Listen mankind! If you wanna get nasty, Just don't harass me: You can't just grab me. That's a sex crime! Yeah we don't want it - It's chauvinistic. You're such a bigot! What you see on tv Doesn't speak equality, It's straight up misogyny. Don't want you to come on my face!”
