little girl you're old enough to understand, you'll always be a stranger in a strange strange land

Oh! My little bird in a cage
Oh! My little bird in a cage
I need you to get up for me, up on that stage
And show the men that you're old for your age
Now ain't the time for fear
But if you don't take it, it'll disappear

Oh! My little mocking bird sing
Oh! My little mocking bird sing
I need you to get up on that stage for me, honey
And show the men it's not about the money

Wanna hold a mirror up to the world
So that they can see themselves inside my little girl









(i've been thinking about this post for a long time. everything that's wrong with being a girl in this culture. why feminist shouldn't be a bad word.)
