My Fair Lady (from a Trans Poet)
My fair lady, my fair lady
Be a good girl, be a dear
Do the cleaning, be the cook
All your worth is in how you look
My fair lady, my fair lady
Be a modest thing and laugh at his jokes
Wear this, eat this, don't eat, don't spit
Be fit for your man, don't question it
My fair lady, my fair lady
Tear her down, don't be her friend
She's much too fat, she's much too bold
She's lesser and never does as she's told
My fair lady, my fair lady
You wear that and he'll take what's there
Boys will be boys, and you, my lady
Will never know the meaning of fair
My fair lady, my fair lady
Don't ask for equality, don't ask for rights
Your kind will never be born free
You're wasting everyone's time
My fair lady, my fair lady
So what I call you a bitch or a whore?
You're mine to use, you're mine to choose
You're nothing but another score
My fair lady, my fair lady,
Are you scared? Are you hurt?
It's good for you, to feel this wounded,
Know your place is in the dirt
I wish I were a woman,
But I wasn't born that way
I'll fight beside you my entire life
Because I know your pain
There's a rallying song within me
Beating loud in my ears
I'm thankful to be alive this day
One day, we will end your fears
