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.
