Sophisticated
There's nothing as great and as bitter
As my hatred of humankind
I speak with my mind
As you read these words, let me be heard
When have you seen such disaster?
Do we not have a Master?
Speak about religion like you have a mission
You're above others
Oh well that's swell
Justifying your actions
Such ignorance
Think I'm below you, bring me to the brink
Of extinction
I hold no power, yet I am all
Oh honey, you're a doll
Put on some make-up
And get you a man
As if I need a man to not fall
Hell, bring a gun to my head
I'm better off dead
As if a man can keep me calm
I am a woman standing for all
As I speak
I'm at a peak
Angry at you all
I am strong
My vision keeps going on
I move forward in life
It's just a strife
I wait til dawn
Someone will grab me
And try to harass me
But I'll have to continue on
For I
Am a person
That has to pay a price for living
And for deceiving
A man with my brows and pretty glowing eyes
For the glow of my hair
Floating through the air
For a second of contact that I didn't spare
Oh how terrible it is
Oh it's a bliss
To be living a life
As a person I am
With no right to speak
As this man stands tall
Look at me on my feet
Walking through hell just to reach my peak
Look at me now
A woman, oh no!
Look at me go
I am more than you think
With no remorse
I will sing you this
I hope your corpse rots
Right below the pots
Of my sugary roses
For as I say,
"You gave it your shot."
And everyone looks away
