lyrics

And I’ll never be, as strong as my mother / maybe, it’s just not on the male side / And I’ll never be as sensitive as my brother / It’s just not within me

So I should burn burn burn burn...

And I’ve got to accept that I’ve inherited a history / of persecution and abuse / And I’ve got to accept that I’m inheriting a privilege / that I should be aware of

So I should, burn burn burn burn masculinity…what good has it ever done?

It made you think that you could go on insulting her / and then apologise when her boyfriend walks in / It makes us think that it’s okay to still have marriage / when there’s no way you can own a living being

So we should, burn burn burn burn masculinity…there’s nothing it gives to us

In a more perfect world, this band would blaring out of every radio on Earth. The lyrics, the vocals, the just-outta-teens snark and earnestness... so much to love. paulimboden

More raw (rawer?) than their newer stuff. Still quite grand and great. Like a raw pop with great riffs. thorseus
