Alix Olson - I Believe lyrics

rate me

I believe misogyny and patriarchy are closet homo lovers

And they screw over their sisters

Cause they're scared to screw each other

I believe Harriet Tubman should be on the dollar bill

We've had our fill of white boy faces

Time to change places.

I believe Hilary, not bill, should have worn the crown

They could have learned from Jack and Jill

Which one would break it and fall down

I believe there are too many lonely lesbians looking for a lover

And if some would lift their cool masks

Maybe they would find each other.

I believe people and products both need less packaging

Cause bullshit is still bullshit

When you pull off all the wrapping

I believe people are see-through

if you hold em up to the light

I believe people are enlightening

if you plug em in right.

I believe our system is a love affair between the up and upper classes

Cause it's easy to get screwed when you're just raping all the masses

I believe diet coke is liquid steel

I believe too many women drink their meal.

I believe in survival of the fittest - if you're ranking members of a gym

But if you're talking about the human club

You gotta let everybody in

I believe you should learn more than one language

you should learn to talk in tongues and lips

I believe in nipples and skin and toes and hips.

I believe in noise from teeth and throats and cunts

The noise of poetry, music, laughter, after screaming cunnilingus.

I believe women are sexy

without makeup or clothes

I believe women are sexy

when they're reciting prose

I don't believe in horoscopes,

fortune, fate, luck, or chance

I believe sometimes shit works out

just cause of circumstance.

So I believe if you call the wrong number

you should talk for a while

You might like 'em more than

who you meant to dial

I believe small talk is for small people

who have nothing much to say

If you really think it's so nice out,

shut up and go enjoy the fucking day

I believe Wall Street invented the criminal mentality

The easter bunny laid mandatory heterosexuality

I believe mutual masturbation makes a lot of sense

I don't believe in a white picket fence

I believe in picking fights and picketing riot dykes

I believe in loving in groups,

I believe in loving alone.

I believe in hardship, in travelling through hard shit

Then I believe in coming home.

I believe some wives find their husbands boring

and they picture women naked

while those boys are snoring

I believe men need to revolutionize themselves or they'll see

all those wives kissing Jill Sobule and me.

I believe there are more buttons

and more clever bumper stickers every day

and less and less sticking

To what they have to say

more recycling of garbage, more recycling of cash

it all ends up in the same bin - with all the white corporate trash

I believe there are too many babies

and too many weddings and too many headings

that started with Monica

I believe post-gay is presumptious

Just plain gay functions.

I don't believe in ex-gay

I believe Trent Lott should be b.b. gun-shot

ex-punged from this term before

The thousand years he's got left

I believe Barbie should be used in anatomy class

as a perfect bag of bones then taken to biogenetics

as an argument against clones.

I believe cell phone culture is ridiculous

imprisoning us in the cell of a social fetish

I believe baby dolls should have realistic clits.

so baby dykes can start getting used to it.

and I believed the guy I waited on today

who said "I'm one hundred percent nice, I don't bite"

I said "I believe you sir and I'll take the beer

can you believe I'm one hundred percent queer"

and i talk it and i teach it

and i poet and i preach it

and I hold it and I mold it

and I know it so I give it.

cause I’m sure that I believe

i’m still learning how to live it.
