No Means No

Red light blinking in a dark room
Sallow skin, heart sinking
you're growing old too soon
the words come easy from pain
she hurt you bad "now they all must be the same"
You hide behind a black mirror
Spread the news of your saviour
You shout "defeat the enemy"
By that I guess you must mean me
If you knew that you were right
then you would shout it from a spotlight
and if you thought it wasn't wrong
You wouldn't hide your faces
There are no blurred lines only hurt and regret
You still say no means no until it means yes
There are no blurred lines only hurt and regret
You still say no means no until it means yes

Woman's World

Once upon a time I said to my mum "who is better boys or girls?"
she frowned and said "they're just different"
my birthday came around and I asked for a chemistry set,
My father just laughed and said "what do you want with that?"
My shoulders broadened before any other boys in school
The girls began to notice and they would grab me in the lunch que
My teacher sent me home for not meeting the dress code
She said "his shorts are too short, maybe that's why they won't leave hime alone"
It's a Woman's world
and that's just the way it is,
It's a woman's world
How am I supposed to be a man in this?
I went to university and left with a first degree
Applied for my dream job and at the interview she asked me
"how long have you been with your girlfriend, it's just a standard question"
I knew she wanted to see, how soon I'd need paternity leave
It's a Woman's world
and that's just the way it is,
It's a woman's world
How am I supposed to be a man in this?
I had a best friend she always supported me
She said ignore the comments, be whatever you want to be
But she was hurting for a long time
felt like she had to be strong
Because a weak woman is no use to anyone
It's a Woman's world
and that's just the way it is,
It's a woman's world
How am I supposed to be a man in this?
This Woman's world
It doesn't work for anyone
It's a woman's world
Would it be better if it was a man's one?
this woman's world
