[P0RTLAND]

play us like pawns,
and relentlessly confine,
into living up to gender roles,
and having absent minds.
dont you think its funny
how they tell us how to live?
dont you think its funny
how we're all delinquent kids?

like, hush now,
don't say, dont say

hush boy, oh hush boy,
dont say a word
throw on a jersey
and no one gets hurt

hush girl, oh hush girl,
just bat your eyes
play our little game,
play our little game.

bounded all thoughts
and corrected common sense
you're raising suicidals with
your predetermined titles
like "a mess, distress,
i am unimpressed, you're excess,
a dress, is all you'll ever be."

gender roles impose control
and deceive progressive time
welcome, to the land of the
broken minds
