[Verse 1]
I'm not a victim, I survived
It was my anger that kept me alive
I'm not so fragile I already broke
Can't make me shut up if I already spoke
[Pre-Chorus]
It was my anger, was my anger
It was my anger that kept me alive
It was my anger, was my anger
It was my anger that kept me alive
[Chorus]
They want me to take it
But not like a man
They want me to take it
Again and again
[Verse 2]
Emotional
Hysterical
Irrational
Asking for it
Words used against women who do not fit into
Our archaic culture's limited view of gender
We are the lying harlot, the conspiring witch
Prude, slut, insatiable bitch
[Pre-Chorus]
What you gonna do when the coven assembles?
What you gonna do when the pack forms?
Don't tell me how to cope or how to be
Stop pointing superior fingers at me
This place is so small I can't breathe
Sooner or later I will bare my teeth
[Chorus]
They want me to take it
But not like a man
They want me to take it
Again and again
Don't treat me like I'm fragile
I already broke
Can't silence a movement
It's too late, we spoke
[Verse 3]
And if I froze up do you think that's consent?
If I remained friendly does that mean I'm fine?
If I walked out and left you is that all this done?
If I defended myself is it me in the wrong?
If I fought back we're even, if I froze up I lied
No belief unless I fucking lay down and died
I'm gonna make it, I will survive
It was my anger that kept me alive
