lirik lagu petrol girls - big mouth
voices of the marginalized
tolerated if we remain quiet
bodies of the marginalized
tolerated under their control
voices of the marginalized
tolerated if we remain quiet
bodies of the marginalized
tolerated!
[chorus]
i’m raising my voice louder
it carries me beyond their walls
our silence will not save us
they can’t contain, they can’t control
they can’t control
some people think little girls should be seen and not heard
but i think
up yours
one, two, three, four
keep your voice down
know your place
bite your tongue
you best behave
keep your head down
stay in line
keep your mouth shut
with a lovely smile
[chorus]
i’m raising my voice louder
it carries me beyond their walls
our silence will not save us
they can’t contain, they can’t control
i’m raising my voice louder
it carries me beyond their walls
our silence will not save us
they can’t contain, they can’t control
they can’t contain, they can’t control
i think it happens to different groups in different ways
and i can only speak about my experience as a woman
but the point that i think so many of us have in common is this demand on us to be quiet and polite and nice
like you’re meant to just smile through it and f-cking get on with it
like when you say no or fight back or even just disagree, you’re the one that’s the f-cking problem
[chorus]
i’m raising my voice louder
it carries me beyond their walls
our silence will not save us
they can’t contain, they can’t control
i’m raising my voice louder
it carries me beyond their walls
our silence will not save us
they can’t contain, they can’t control
they can’t contain, they can’t control
i cannot remain crescent
a chewed finger nail spat into the darkness
a sliver of light
in someone else’s depiction of night
i am looming
monstrous
