about
growing up, i never thought putting the violin in a punk band, especially as a woman, was ever possible. then i realized it was. this powerhouse tune is all about being a woman fronting a band, being loud, and taking up space.
lyrics
i wanna be a girl in a band
flashing my tits on the sage
screaming about how punk's not dead
eating men for dinner every night
oh i wanna be a girl in a band
god knows there aren’t enough of them
we're a little bit too fragile and quick to the bite
but i think my pink nail polish would look great under the stage lights
oh i wanna be a girl in a band
flashing my tits on the stage
my body’s not a temple
i don't need you on your knees
but your mama didn’t raise you right if
a body is all you see
i wanna be a girl on a stage
screaming and hashing out my rage
jumping and shouting for a crowd
paving my own fucking path in this world
oh! i wanna be a girl on a stage
wearing flouncy little skirts and high heels
bright red lipstick, my eyelashes black
i don’t wanna be just one of the guys
oh i wanna be a girl in a band
flashing my tits on the stage
my body’s not a temple
i don't need you on your knees
your mama didn’t raise you right if
a body is all you see
i’ve got grit and a lot of things to say
pardon me for my feminist ways
but frankly i don’t really give a duck
cause i think emo needs more girls
i think emo needs more fucking girls (x4)
oh i wanna be a girl in a band
flashing my tits on the stage
my bodies not a temple
i don't need you on your knees
but your mama didn’t raise you right if
a body is all you see (x2)
