letra de what's new? - thwack!

[typically a speech is made here about the divinity of feminine anger and how feminine anger is often not societally accepted]

[-blood curdling scream-]

verse:
i am so many men’s favourite game, and they’d say i’m just looking for a fight, but what if i am?
well, he never touched me, but boy did he cause harm- i’m living proof of willful malice!
‘cus done wrong on a technicality doesn’t feel like enough of a reason to cause such a scene
but on a technicality i’ve been crucified so many times, hung by the knowledge that i’m not where i’m supposed to be

chorus:
and your pleasures of the flesh are the horrors of the еyes to us and what i’ve seen has burnt into my head
but what’s nеw?
but what’s new?
what’s new?
what’s new?
what’s new?

verse 2:
i know the phrase is getting old but “f-ck men” has such a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
he taught me you can be sleater kinney’s number one fan but also the world’s most passive feminist!
he’ll never get it (no!), he’ll never get it (no!)
what a nightmare it is to exist!
and i’ll cry… ‘cus i thought i found a way out

chorus:
and your pleasures of the flesh are the horrors of the eyes to us and what i’ve seen has burnt into my head
but what’s new?
but what’s new?
what’s new?
what’s new?
what’s new?
bridge:
block impulse, choke sobs, swallow chatter, reject touch
define sweetness, hold back, accept defeat, starve flesh
earn pain, lower volume, stay close (just in case)
know better, take less, pinch, swallow, let them grab
destroy yourself for others’ entertainment
destroy yourself for others’ entertainment
destroy yourself for others’ entertainment!
destroy yourself!

chorus:
and your pleasures of the flesh are the horrors of the eyes to us and what i’ve seen has burnt into my head
but what’s new?
but what’s new?
–
and your pleasures of the flesh are the horrors of the eyes to us and what i’ve seen has burnt into my head
but what’s new?
but what’s new?

outro:
i struggle with choosing between acting dumb and proving my knowledge in the hopes that men will respect me
(but what’s new?)
my male friends have no clue what social power they hold and i can yell but they won’t hear me!
(what’s new?)
i’m so sick of figuring out the best way to be seen as worth your time
(what’s new?)
there’s something about the way men look at me that makes me feel so unbearably alone
it feels like i’m always antic-p-ting a head-on collision and there’s nothing i can do about it!
so break me, i know you want to break me, f-ck!
