Gender Studies

One, two, three, four

Study my gender
Tell me it's not enough
Shout at me in the streets
Claim it'll make me tough
Why don't you study my gender?
Tell me there's only two
Tell me that it's perfect
It's enough for me and you

Why don't you study my gender?
Peddle those tired old lines
That the violence is justified
'Cause it saves the right kind of lives

Why don't you study my gender?
Tell me I'm no fun anymore
But I used to be quiet and pretty
And you liked that old me more

Why don't you study my gender?
Stretch it out so we both can see
Ask invasive questions
Pretend you're not hurting me

Why don't you study my gender?
And we can fight this dirty war
And I tell you that you're trash
And you called me a whore
We've nothing gained
But nothing ventured
And there's no outcome we haven't seen before

So go ahead
Study my gender
Bring all your fears and insecurities to the fore
'Cause when you study my gender
Guess what? I like the new me more
'Cause when you study my gender
Guess what? I like the new me more
