Sick and tired of your initiation games
When you can't even tell me my fucking name
I'm not so sure about this whole 'sisterhood'
Kissing her cos your boyfriend says you should
(That sounds like incest)
I love frat boys I love it when they spike me
It's how I can tell that they really really like me
I love my sisters and how they betray me
Their boyfriends touch me up
But they'll still blame me
We're coming for you
Sorority Grrrls from Hell
Hide away your boyfriends
Cos we're coming for them as well
This isn't what sorority was meant to be
The minute I speak up you all shout at me
So I'll swap my heels and dress for a battleaxe
You better be on guard when sorority grrrls attack
I love frat boys I love it when they spike me
It's how I can tell that they really really like me
I love my sisters and how they betray me
Their boyfriends touch me up
But they'll still blame me
We're coming for you
Sorority Grrrls from Hell
Hide away your boyfriends
Cos we're coming for them as well
Sick and tired of your sisterhood bullcrap
Underneath the pressure I've finally cracked
So you better pack your shit yeah you better run
Cos when we attack there'll be mercy for no one
I love frat boys I love it when they spike me
It's how I can tell that they really really like me
I love my sisters and how they betray me
Their boyfriends touch me up
But they'll still blame me
We're coming for you
Sorority Grrrls from Hell
Hide away your boyfriends
Cos we're coming for them as well

Dress Me Up

I'm down on my knees
Baby tell me please
What's wrong with my body
And I need to know
I'll let you shape me like dough
My vision's getting foggy
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all
Dress me up I'll be your doll
Cos if I'm ugly to hell I'll fall
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all
Dress me up I'll be your doll
Cos if I'm ugly to hell I'll fall
Who are you to say
How much I should weigh
Keep your eyes off me
And I'm taking back my form
Your vision makes me squirm
But this body gives me glory
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all
Dress me up I'll be your doll
Cos if I'm ugly to hell I'll fall
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all
Dress me up I'll be your doll
Cos if I'm ugly to hell I'll fall
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all
Dress me up I'll be your doll
Cos if I'm ugly to hell I'll fall
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all
Dress me up I'll be your doll
Cos if I'm ugly to hell I'll fall

They're coming for your lives
Better run and hide
They're gonna take your wives
And men's rights will be denied
I hear they're coming
(They're what?)
Better start running
We're the scary feminists
We're gonna be your nemisis
Are we in your way
We're the scary feminists
We're gonna be your nemisis
We will not obey
We're the scary feminists
But we are not terrorists
We just want equal pay
We're the scary feminists
Fuck off you misogynists
Pass the pepper spray
We're not afraid to fight
And stand up for our rights
We'll kick and scream and bite
So you better hide tonight
We're the scary feminists
We're gonna be your nemisis
Are we in your way
We're the scary feminists
We're gonna be your nemisis
We will not obey
We're the scary feminists
But we are not terrorists
We just want equal pay
We're the scary feminists
Fuck off you misogynists
Pass the pepper spray
We're the scary feminists
We're gonna be your nemisis
Are we in your way
We're the scary feminists
We're gonna be your nemisis
We will not obey
We're the scary feminists
But we are not terrorists
We just want equal pay
We're the scary feminists
Fuck off you misogynists
Pass the pepper spray

The day of my dreams is finally here
Can you hear the churchbells ring
Being stuck forever with you my dear
I can't think of a more terrible thing
Our honeymoon's booked we're off to Paris
But tell them to cancel the flight
Cos tonight my love, you must perish
There will be no marriage tonight
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
A dagger in my garter belt
This weapon I must hide
I'll strike before you get the chance
You may not kiss this bride
So pretty in my bloodstained dress
It seems my groom has died
So to this marriage I object
You may not kiss this bride
Perhaps I'll poison our wedding cake
I can't eat it, I'm on a diet
Somebody call the chef there's been a mistake
My husband has gone so quiet
I'll keep a pistol in my corset
Always ready to shoot
It's honestly better if you are dead
We'll avoid any couple's dispute
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
A dagger in my garter belt
This weapon I must hide
I'll strike before you get the chance
You may not kiss this bride
So pretty in my bloodstained dress
It seems my groom has died
So to this marriage I object
You may not kiss this bride
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
A dagger in my garter belt
This weapon I must hide
I'll strike before you get the chance
You may not kiss this bride
So pretty in my bloodstained dress
It seems my groom has died
So to this marriage I object
You may not kiss this bride

This next song goes out to the current UK government
We just want to say, keep your laws off trans people and
Fuck Off
It's all eyes on Mr Minister
You're looking past your prime
It's all eyes on Mr Minister
My identity is not a crime
It's all eyes on Mr Minister
Did you expect us to forget
It's all eyes on Mr Minister
What you said about the non cis-hets
C-I-S-S-Y
Cissy Cissy
C-I-S-S-Y
Cissy Cissy
Boys go to Venus
To grow a big penis
I guess I missed the flight
You say my pronouns are confusing
But to me it's quite amusing
That's a bullet you'll have to bite
Boys go to Venus

RATFACE!

You'll take your anger out on anyone
Who you can catch in your fishnet web
But we're all grieving too
You're the victim of your own violence
Destroy your fragile reputation
With your own cruel words
You can bitch about me
They're all listening
Cause it's okay to hate on women
If you're a so-called grrrl
And when you bitch about me
They all join in
Cause they've been waiting for the chance
To drag my name through the dirt
There's no explanation for your aggression
Even your motive is built on lies
Do you see me as a threat
You're the victim of your own violence
Destroy your fragile reputation
With your own cruel words
You can bitch about me
They're all listening
Cause it's okay to hate on women
If you're a so-called grrrl
And when you bitch about me
They all join in
Cause they've been waiting for the chance
To drag my name through the dirt
You fucking ratface
Ratface
Ratface

So Much It Hurts
02:43

We're on the same lineup
But I'm half an hour before
Cause you're a boy with a guitar
And I'm just a whore
You'll shout about your breakup
I'll shout about my rights
They'll politely clap for me
But you'll take the spotlight
Some guy in the crowd
Says I look just like his wife
But 30 years ago
In "the prime" of her life
I'd much rather talk to
Your girlfriend at the merch stand
She say she loves my lyrics
Cause unlike you she understands
I want you to politicise your rhyme
Teach me with your music
Make the most of my time
I want you to start riots with your words
Radicalise me with your lyrics
Make me think so much it hurts
We're on the same lineup
But I'm half an hour before
Cause you're a boy with a guitar
And I'm just a whore
You'll shout about your breakup
I'll shout about my rights
They'll politely clap for me
But you'll take the spotlight
I'm just a whore
I'm just a whore
I'm just a whore
I'm just a whore
I want you to politicise your rhyme
Teach me with your music
Make the most of my time
I want you to start riots with your words
Radicalise me with your lyrics
Make me think so much it hurts

Not Every Grrrl

Grrrls to the front
Boys to the back
Grrrls to the front
Boys to the back
Grrrls to the front
Boys to the back
Grrrls to the front
Boys to the back
I'm singing like a grrrl
And I'm dancing like a grrrl
And if you dare to touch me up
I'll kick your teeth in
Like a grrrl
We're living in a Brave New World
And your assumptions
They make me hurl
You need to get it in your head
That not every grrrl's a girl
Grrrls to the front
Boys to the back
Grrrls to the front
Boys to the back
Grrrls to the front
Boys to the back
Grrrls to the front
Boys to the back
(Are you ready? One Two Three Four!)
I'm shouting now cos I need you to listen
My feminism doesn't rely on womanhood
But all you seem to hear is some whiny annoying bitch
So maybe that's what I'll become
You wanna hear about all my stupid grrrl problems
Cos I'll tell you now
I've got a lot to complain about
I can't go to my own fucking show without worrying about the length of my skirt
Is that what you wanna hear
Or would you rather I complain about some superficial bullshit
Cos I can fucking do that too
Wah wah wah
There's lipstick on my teeth
Wah wah wah
And there's cigarette ash on my doc martens
Wah wah wah
And I don't have anything else worth complaining about
Cause don't you get it
I'm just a grrrl
I'm just a grrrl
