Brettell - Threatened lyrics

rate me

Grown up girls used to learn real quick, that they could change the way you turn<br />

By just a smile, or a glance your way, they'd make you walk that extra mile.<br />

We don't sit back and wait for you gods to decide<br />

Who, why and what we will do with our gift of life.<br />

<br />

And if you're feeling threatened by our existence<br />

Its because the roles have changed<br />

The manual stayed the same<br />

And no one thought to tell you.<br />

<br />

Men have it hard, I'm sure they'll agree. They weren't handed on a plate<br />

The tools to deal with this new way to the be, Millenium man, new age guy<br />

The pretty apron and the permit to play wife.<br />

<br />

In a traditional man's world, I know we've had to fight; Just to be heard<br />

To be given some simple rights. No one said it would be easy<br />

And both sides felt the strain<br />

<br />

And if you're feeling threatened by our existence<br />

Its because the roles have changed<br />

The manual stayed the same<br />

And no one thought to tell you.<br />

<br />

Roles undefined, it's a free for all; Choose the mask that fits<br />

And make it work for you, no longer governed, by the old set of rules<br />

They're gone forever.<br />

<br />

And if you're feeling threatened by our existence<br />

Its because the roles have changed<br />

The manual stayed the same<br />

And no one thought to tell you.
