single standard

sharptooth

don't get me wrong

i understand

that you think you're doing me a favor

but i don't need you to hold my hand

so take it back

let's think this through

see

every time you elevate yourself above me

you're putting yourself down too

because they don't give a shit about you

they want to try to define us

the way we are is just fine for us

this is not just my fight

this is also your fight

do you really want somebody else to

tell you who to be?

so listen up

take it from me

see

every time they tell me how to be a woman

they're telling you how a man should be

those kind of lies

they hurt us all

it's up to us to make a choice to stand united

it's time that we tear down walls

because those walls

have no place here

so don't walk in front of me

i will not follow

just walk beside me

and be my friend

don't walk in front of me

i will not follow

just walk beside me

and be my friend

tear down

society's wrongs

fight for a world where we all can belong

this is your chance

to stand for what's right: we need allies

not white knights

we need allies

not white knights
