Inspired by a saying on a tea towel I saw at a friends house. The perfect fodder for a feminist rock song.
lyrics
How would you feel if I were equal to you?
You could walk a mile in my shoes
Men having babies could change a few rules
What if the worst thing happened to you?
CHORUS
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
Why is it you don't hear my voice?
Why won't you let me keep my choice?
If god is good and god is great
He's a dollar short and two days late
CHORUS
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
BRIDGE
And sticks and stones
May break my bones
And your laws
Could surely hurt me...yeah
There are people in this world
Who don't want to give us girls
The right to speak, the right to read books
They shoot their guns before they look
CHORUS
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
Well you can look but don't touch
You can look but don't touch
You can look but don’t touch
