If I Was A Man

[Verse 1] All I ever really wanted to do Was to be treated to be more like you I wouldn’t say I have it rough But I hate it when guys are made out like they’re soo tough Women hold the world on their backs But even then I can still see the cracks Just so you know, these gender roles Are another means of capitalistic control [Chorus] They wonder why we’re bringing all the noise It’s cause we’re always told that boys will bе boys I think I’d start to feel more overjoyed If I was a man If I was a man [Verse 2] Truth is that thеy’ll never know What it’s like to be told That you’ve let yourself go By the people in your family As if they are the ones who are supposed to be mean All I ever wanted was to go outside and play Yet my brothers were allowed to go and I just had to stay Because a girl like me who had only turned fifteen Is apparently too vulnerable to play out in the street [Chorus] They wonder why we’re bringing all the noise It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys I think I’d start to feel more overjoyed If I was a man If I was a man No wonder girls are feeling so destroyed It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys I think I’d start to feel more overjoyed If I was a man If I was a man [Bridge] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey [Chorus] They wonder why we’re bringing all the noise It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys I think I’d start to feel more overjoyed If I was a man If I was a man No wonder girls are feeling so destroyed It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys I think I’d start to feel more overjoyed If I was a man If I was a man They wonder why we’re bringing all the noise It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys I think I’d start to feel more overjoyed If I was a man If I was a man No wonder girls are feeling so destroyed It’s cause we’re always told that boys will be boys I think I’d start to feel more overjoyed If I was a man If I was a man If I was
