#YesAllPeople

YesAllWomen is one of the most powerful forces for female rights.
YesAllWomen is how our own sureness can be what's right.
How what we think and how we feel can catch the future like an electric eel.
An electric eel who's meal feels a concerning amount like the steel at the end of a fishing reel.

Because we're hooked.
Hook line and sinker into beating our revolutionary drums
Barum pa pum pum like the little drummer boy toy you got for christmas at 4 years old.
Too young to understand what your life woud mean for the future of this country.  This great country,
Who's munching on civil rights like an all you can eat breakfast bar at a 4 star Holiday Inn.

Who splits its population in half based on a random lottery at birth and pits the two sides against each other,
sister versus brother,
father versus mother, like some sort of fucked up Hunger Games.
Shame.
Shame on all of you for allowing things to get this way.
Hey maybe it'll get better but who knows? It could get worse.
First things first it could get much worse. But of course you don't care. Why would you care?
There's a 50% chance you were born to the victor, the quicker race, the slicker picker picks first,
The early bird gets the worm, and the late bird is left with the worm hole, such is the way of life,
Right?

I would say wrong. And I'm not sure if you get this,
But saying "all men" is equally as sexist.
But the best is you really don't care,
Not as long as you can wave your banners in the air
I told you that we're hooked, revolution's in our blood
I just hope that we can all pull our faces out the mud

And understand that a man isn't defined by his penis.
But while you're hook, line, sinker I'm a reelist.
