lyrics

Not smiling, not sorry, 
not waiting, it's working for me. 
you don't own me, you don't know me 
not really, you only see what its comfortable to see 

not your baby, or your sugar sweet, 
not honey or cupcake or doll-face or anything in between 
not your damsel, not distressing 
not a princess, I'm the queen so I'll do the conquering 

when they say your voice don't matter, sing a little louder 
for those who would deny you power 
are the only ones who stand to gain when you buy into their power plays 
when they say your voice don't matter, sing a little louder 
for those who would deny you power 
are the only ones who stand to gain when you buy into their power plays 

too bossy, too pushy, 
too noisy- it's working for me. 
you don't own me, you don't know me 
not really, don't want to see whats uncomfortable to see: 

get paid less, told to weigh less, 
short or long dress- still asking for it, right? 
don't play me, or make me blame me 
trying to frame me only shatters the illusion of your intent 

when they say your voice don't matter, sing a little louder 
for those who would deny you power 
are the only ones who stand to gain when you buy into their power plays 
when they say your voice don't matter, sing a little louder 
for those who would deny you power 
are the only ones who stand to gain when you buy into their power plays 

my mind is a garden lush and verdant 
not going to pick you any roses you don't deserve and haven't earned
mind how my garden grows and grows 
not going to pick you any roses I don't owe 

my mind is garden lush and verdant 
not going to pick you any roses you don't deserve and haven't earned. 
mind how my garden grows and grows 
not going to pick you any roses I don't owe 

when they say your voice don't matter, sing a little louder 
for those who would deny you power 
are the only ones who stand to gain when you buy into their power plays
