yuppie liberal woman —
yuppie liberal woman, with your posters and your signs -
raise your voice,
stamp your feet,
don't fall into the lines:
yuppie liberal woman,
with your makeup and your mic:
if you wear a short skirt you're asking for sex,
if you wear jeans, then you're a dyke.
yuppie liberal woman,
protest injustice, fuck the man -
you'll promote peace with two fingers and colored mist,
coming from the spray can.
all we need is love, you'll scream
and people will listen,
you'll reach them - it'll seem
all we need is hope, you'll yell
but are they really listening?
only time will tell
yuppie liberal woman, with your causes in a row
you'll never be taken seriously with your hair up in a bow.
remove the ribbon,
add a suit,
then what is left, that's at the root?
a bitch, they'll yell
with eyes-ablaze
for even in these modern days,
you can't get by with just your thoughts
your hopes, your fights, your dreams
for even in these modern times,
it's sad, but so it seems,
you're never quite what they all want,
you're always too fat, always too gaunt.
yuppie liberal woman,
you can try, and try, and try.
yuppie liberal woman,
raise your voice up to the sky.
yuppie liberal woman - FIGHT,
and don't stop, though names they yell.
BITCH
CUNT
SLUT
They're all just words.
Affecting you? No way.
yuppie liberal woman i believe that you can save the day.
all we need is love, you'll scream
and people will listen,
you'll reach them - it'll seem
all we need is hope, you'll yell
but are they really listening?
only time will tell.
