Can't Speak

She's a smart girl when you're listening
And a smart girl when you're not
But you don't know what the people think
When you say something dumb as rocks

Oh you're no good at the people thing
'Cause you speak to her like a child
Tell her all about something she already knows
It's disgusting how you like her for her clothes

Don't you know you should be listening
When they say what they really think
But I can't help but wonder if
That'd do anything but make you drink

'Cause you can't speak, cannot lead a thing
As you sit and tap on your phone
Misogynistic man, with no power of your own
You disgust me, and I think that you should go

Recollect my thoughts, then record them in pen
Spin the sun around the Earth instead
The softest sheets, the wildest dreams
A world where men in power can actually speak
Get acquainted with the thought, then wish it on its way
It's nice to dream but, baby
You can't speak when there's nothing to say
