lyrics

Capo 2nd
G, F, G, F, C

In a world of stereotypes
Fashion trends and status quo's
Isn't it the point of punk
To always go against the flow
The mainstream beauty standards to naught
I've got my beard, you've got a hawk

A bearded lady, what a freak
A boy, a girl, or in between?
What are you supposed to think
When you see me on the street

You think that I'm supposed to fit
Into this mold you hold so dear
But I digress, I'll stay a mess
Of gendered traits you seem to fear

What is it that angers you
To the point of violent acts
Carried out upon my person
Don't you think I even am?

I'll wear my beard and my skirt too
What the fuck are you gonna do
A protest of the status quo
That's pretty fuckin punk, you know

A bearded lady what a freak
A boy or girl or in between
What are you supposed to think
When you see me on the street

I'll tell you what you ought to think
You think real hard and then you'll see
It's just a fucking style choice
It's even louder than my voice

And they always say why doesn't she want to look like a girl and I say well I fucking do some girls dye their armpit hair some get tattoos on their face some have Mohawks taller than you can reach and this is just my own personal way of rejecting beauty standards set forth by a misogynistic society that tells me I can't possibly be a woman if I don't look like what THEY think one should look like and that's totally fucking BULLSHIT

Fuck

that

I shouldn't have to look like
How you think I should
You don't run my life
Don't think you ever could
I'm pretty of my own accord
And beauty standards of my own
I'm a Goddamn lady
So fucking leave me alone!
