lyrics

-Verse 1-
Who said that womyn's only creation is pro-creation?
Too busy to produce art with the age-old task of reproduction
Well forget that, I don't want to see you
Trapped in the cage of child care
I want to hear you play

I want to hear you sing
Not bound to men with rings
I want to feel your art
I want to know your soul
A womb does not dictate who you have to be
Women exist beyond the hole
You are more than just a reproductive machine

-Chorus-
You are! You are!

-Verse 2-
I'm no Kathleen Hanna or Poly Styrene
But who are they anyway?
They're just people too
Two girls in a world of millions
Who just knew what they wanted to do

They're not the queens of the neighbourhood
(I'm not a royalist!)
They're not the leaders of a movement
(I am an anarchist!)

But we can take some inspiration and a big sharp knife
And carve out our existence in whatever shape we like

We can follow in their footsteps or walk our own road
Just so long as we all know who's in control!

-Chorus-
We are! We are!

-Bridge-
We are put down!
But we are survivors!
We are breaking through!
These chains that bind us!

We are strong!
We are united!
We are different!
But not divided!

We are angry!
We are queer!
We are unavoidable!
And we are here!

-Chorus-
We are! We are!
