This Is Not a Feminist Song

This Is Not a Feminist Song.mp3

Saturday Night Live Cast,Ariana Grande

The world it needs and anthem,

For all of womankind

A song to fight, a song to write,

the wrongs of all of time.

So we put pen to paper

and wrote all through the night.

A gorgeous ode to feminism well within our sights.

But this is pretty new on stuff

and putting it all in one song was tough.

And that’s why this is not a feminist song,

we tried real hard but it took too long.

This is not a feminist song,

cause we were scared we would do it wrong.

We know women meed an anthem,

a song to call their own,

but we didn’t write that anthem,

we went home.

Every woman has a struggle

and every struggle’s real.

But just try and write a song that captures every woman’s deal.

So instead of writing lyrics,

here’s a us running in the sand.

And here’s a bunch of lens flares

and an old woman’s hands.

Not to call a woman old or

judge a woman’s hands.

We know a woman shouldn’t be

reduced to just her hands.

We stepped right into that trap,

it’s so hard to never get this crap.

And that’s why this is not a feminist song,

so technically it can’t be wrong.

This is not a feminist song

I feel like we’ve been singing so long.

Our ancestors,they fought for us

so they deserve a song

but this is not that song so move along.

Now here’s some powerful footage for a song we didn’t write.

It’s Malala, Maya Angelou, and Madeline Albright.

And R.B.G. she taught me that women can be strong,

and that women have the right to choose

to bail on this whole song

(oh yeah.)

And that’s why this is not a feminist song,

we’re just women singing a song.

But doesn’t that make it a feminist song?

I guess this was feminist all along!

This is a feminist song! Tweet it,（feministsong!）

Where are the men in this feminist song?

An excellent point now move along!

Cause now it’s time for you at home

to weigh in on this song

and tell us if we handled it all wrong.

This tough and tricky landmine of a song.
