lyrics

(Chorus)
What can we wise women do ?
When vile, scornful men sue

Purely dressed in white little girls,
Oh they do that well !
Nourish, nurse, wash and clean
Male disorders and complaints

Always consenting, silent girls,
Oh they do that well !
Handle, fold, fake and fill
Male desires, whimsy lust

(Chorus)

You know what to say, what to feel,
Oh soothing mothers !
They so well raised us up
Feeling brittle, dazed and ill

In their drooling gaze I reflect
As a glowy flesh
Deep, my bones hold my rage
I would gladly yell at them

‘Don’t, it’s paranoia’, says the octopus
Behind the glass wall, do they dare respond to you

‘Chill, it’s paranoia, lady, do not fuss’
Behind the glass wall, do they dare respond to you

Now on, I fully get what was on mother’s minds
Just look around, through distorting mirrors
Throw you back their horrors, exploding in full force
