BANANASUTRA

Syncopated Patriarchy

“Whores deserve to be shut up,” they say, with delightfool glee... that, mon cher ami, is an ancient true story!

But I’ll keep singing, I’ll keep dreaming / Truths they don’t want to hear, I’m scheming.

Lyrics

[Intro]
DIY audio delights are my best friends now
I hope we agree, my stories are clear and loud
Political art, fair social commentary
In a world that’s lost, where truth is now so scary

[Verse 1]
I’d be upset in my heart, but not surprised
If close-minded dummies choose to criticize
Corporate bullies mock, blame, shame, and silence me
“Whores deserve to be shut up,” they say with glee

[Chorus]
But I’ll keep singing, I’ll keep dreaming
Truths they don’t want to hear, I’m scheming
Of a world that listens, a world that’s free
From the chains of capitalist patriarchy

[Bridge]
They call me names, they strike me down
But I’m more than their circus clown
I share my thoughts, my deep philosophy
They’ll never break my spirit, my belief in humanity

[Chorus]
But I’ll keep singing, I’ll keep dreaming
Truths they don’t want to hear, I’m scheming
Of a world that listens, a world that’s free
From the chains of capitalist patriarchy

[Outro]
So let them mock, let them shame
I’ll rise above their twisted game
In every note, in every rhyme
I’ll share the truth, I’ll bide my time
