Kristeen Young Pearl Of A Girl Lyrics

I never knew I was a girl
Until they stooped to tell me
I never knew I was disturbed
Until they dropped three volumes on me
But in the Bible/Torah/Quran
There're really no good roles for me
'Cept concubine and wash woman

I used to be the sad one
Now I just want to stab 'em

It's so severe...
It's brutal
Not happy you're a girl
Laugh, laugh
Na-na-not enough, I know
It's so severe. it's brutal
Not happy I'm a girl
Rough, gruff
Na-na-not enough, I know

They needed to have the law So they can legally bind us
They needed to have the church
So they can morally ground us
They've needed most of the dough
They must be so scared of us
So their stories are of ghosts
I only wish the virgin
Would've had an abortion

So composed but it's so severe
In repose, but it's so severe
You're so calm, but it's so severe
How are you calm when it's so severe?
So severe, so--
Why are we still talking about it?!

Na-na-na-na, na-na
