Behave Myself

I am the rage of all women condensed to the point of explosion
I'm the silence of violation finally broken
I am the joke behind the eloquent feminist slogan
and I will not behave myself

I am the cheap labour and the overpriced beauty promotion
I'm the time bomb of pathological consumption approaching
I'm the child of mother earth and the dirt in her ocean
and I will not behave myself

Under the skies and out of control
Get ready for my dangerous soul
Unshakeable heart
Unstoppable change
Now I see the bars of this cage

I am the point of entanglement of oppressions interwoven
I'm the confusion of the patient, her unspoken emotion
I'm the story of all my sisters' resistance unfolding
and I will not behave myself

I am the flame of erotic power in motion
I'm the object of lust and the end point of loathing
I'm the wave at the source of structural violence erosion
and I will not behave myself

Under the skies and out of control
Get ready for my dangerous soul
Unshakeable heart
Unstoppable change
Now I see the bars of this cage

Under the skies and out of control
Get ready for my dangerous soul
Unshakeable heart
Unstoppable change
Now I see the bars of this cage

I am the moment of peace and the constant commotion
I'm the weight of collective conscience awoken
I'm the space for the rebel to revolt in
and I will not behave myself

All we've been told
We've been told is just another story
All we've been sold
We've been sold is just a rich man's story

Under the skies and out of control
Get ready for my dangerous soul
Unshakeable heart
Unstoppable change
Now I see the bars of this cage

Under the skies and out of control
Get ready for my dangerous soul
Unshakeable heart
Unstoppable change
Now I see the bars of this cage
