FYR

[Verse 1]

Ten short years of progressive change

Fifty fucking years of calling us names

Can we trade Title IX for an end to hate crime?

RU-486 if we suck your fucking dick?

One step forward, five steps back

One cool record in the year of rock-rap

Yeah, we've got all the power, getting stabbed in the shower

And we've got equal rights (on ladies' night)

[Pre-Chorus]

Feminists, we're calling you

Please report to the front desk

Let's name this phenomenon

It's too dumb to bring us down

[Chorus]

F.Y.R., fifty years of ridicule

F.Y.R., take another picture

F.Y.R., fifty years of ridicule

F.Y.R., take another picture

[Spoken Interlude]

I wonder whether we could be happy in a place like that

[Verse 2]

Mrs. Doubtfire on Mother's Day

On-the-job stalker for equal pay

Toss us a few new AIDS drugs as national healthcare bites the dust

While you were on vacation black people didn't get reparations

You know, these days no one's exploited

Sorry dude, can't hear you with my head in the toilet

[Pre-Chorus]

Feminists, we're calling you

Please report to the front desk

Let's name this phenomenon

It's too dumb to bring us down

[Chorus]

F.Y.R., fifty years of ridicule

F.Y.R., take another picture

F.Y.R., fifty years of ridicule

F.Y.R., take another picture

[Spoken Interlude]

I wonder whether we could be happy in a place like that

[Bridge]

You've really come a long way, baby

It's you, not the world, that's totally crazy

'Cause we really rocked the fucking vote with election fraud in poor zip codes

Celebrate gay marriage in Vermont by enforcing those old sodomy laws

One step forward, five steps back

We tell the truth, they turn up the laugh track

[Spoken Interlude]

I wonder whether we could be happy

I wonder whether we could be happy

I wonder whether we could be happy

I wonder whether we could be

[Pre-Chorus]

Feminists, we're calling you

Please report to the front desk

Let's name this phenomenon

It's too dumb to bring us down

[Spoken Outro: Paula Poundstone]

I had a friend who did that

She used to ride the subway in New York City

From the beginning of the line at New Lots Avenue

All the way up to 241st Street in the Bronx

And nobody would bother her
