Gender Studies

[Verse 1]

Why don’t you study my gender?

Tell me it’s not enough

Shout at me in the streets

Claim it’ll make me tough

Why don’t you study my gender?

Tell me there’s only two

Tell me that it's perfect

It's enough for me and you

[Verse 2]

Why don’t you study my gender?

Peddle those tired old lines

That the violence is justified

'Cause it saves the right kind of lives

Why don’t you study my gender?

Tell me I’m no fun anymore

That I used to bе quiet and pretty

And you liked thе old me more

Why don’t you study my gender?

Stretch it out so we both can see

Ask invasive questions

Pretend you’re not hurting me

[Verse 3]

Because when you study my gender

And we fight this dirty war

And I tell you that you’re trash

And you call me a whore

We’ve nothing gained and

Nothing ventured and there’s

No outcome we haven’t seen before

So go ahead, study my gender

Bring all your fears and insecurities

To the fore

'Cause when you study my gender

Guess what I like the new me more

'Cause when you study my gender

Guess what I like the new me more
