The Indelicates - Our Daughters Will Never Be Free lyrics

This is what we want, we want to be made You're manufacture for our decade Saying worldly and clever and honest we are We'll prove it with reference to our last seminar We dance and we sing Of a love we're not in And the boys and the times And the pints and the shots All we recall of a time we forgot Apparently this is the way one should be Some clever boy said so, it feels fine to me We sing and we dance and make eyes at their heads Have photographs taken to make us look dead They dance and they sing Of a world they're not in Their lives are improved by the things that we do We're special enough to get paid And we all know the real song but we won't sing along 'cause our boyfriends and girlfriends and parents will say Don't be a square, grow your hair and be happy It's not god that made you this way So lift up your top Lift up your top Lift up your top, got to use what you've got Try not to see anything but the fee It's all tongue in cheek anyway! We've highlighted lines in the books of Why Not But the women back then were extremists the lot I'm have control of my gender, my s** Every who*e that I've heard of is free of regret I think it's fine just to make people smile I think it's fine to force people to smile Make me a dolly, make me a princess Make me your baby, make me your goddess Rape me and beat me Rape us and beat us Rape us and beat us 'til we're black and blue We made it ok on the day we said nothing Was better than something to say What our foremothers fought for was peachy and swell But hey they forgot to be mothers as well Instead of our fathers, our sisters did say: Let's just be pretty, it's more fun that way Let's just be pretty Let's just be beautiful Let's just be retro and disco and twee We don't know the song so we can't sing along And our daughters will never be free
