lyrics

Smile, they say
You're better that way
Just put on some makeup
And fucking decay
Be silent, they say
I like you that way
Just be who they want and fucking decay

I'm not your play-thing
I'm not your doll
I'm not your play-thing
Not your catcall

Smile, they say
You're better that way
Just put on some makeup
And fucking decay
Be silent, they say
I like you that way
Just be who they want and fucking decay

How the fuck
Do you think that it's ok
For you to tell us what we can wear on our bodies
And how much makeup we should put on our faces
It is not ok for you to tell us
What we can like
And what we can listen to
And where we can go
You are not entitled to our bodies
You are not entitled to our smiles

Smile, they say
You're better that way
Just put on some makeup
And fucking decay
Be silent, they say
I like you that way
Just be who they want and fucking decay
