i don't wanna be here
if it means being here with you
i'm getting tired playing games
where nobody's ever told the rules
'cause it takes a special kind of dude (i guess)
to play along as activist
so when i send out a fuck you
i mean it to white people and all men too :-)
'cause if i have to be anything
i guess i can't be anything
if you feel phased face down the stairs
bleeding out your temples, brow bone bare
thinking about all the ways
i couldn't eat, i couldn't sleep for days
'cause i don't have time for patience
when you tell me to change my attitude
if i could just say one fucking thing
without your gaslight on we'd be fucking good!
but if i have to be anything
i guess i can't be anything
yeah if i have to be anything
i guess i'll just leave
