Behave Myself

I am the rage of all women condensed to the point of explosion

I am the silence of violation finally broken

I am the joke behind the eloquent feminist slogan

and I will not behave myself

I am the cheap labour and the overpriced beauty promotion

I am the time bomb of pathological consumption approaching

I am the child of mother earth and the dirt in her ocean

and I will not behave myself

Under the skies and out of control

Get ready for my dangerous soul

Unshakeable heart

Unstoppable change

Now I see the bars of this cage

I am the point of entanglement of oppressions interwoven

I am the confusion of the patient, her unspoken emotion

I am the story of all my sisters’ resistance unfolding

and I will not behave myself

I am the flame of erotic power in motion

I am the object of lust and the end point of loathing

I am the wave at the source of structural violence erosion

and I will not behave myself

Under the skies and out of control

Get ready for my dangerous soul

Unshakeable heart

Unstoppable change

Now I see the bars of this cage

I am the moment of peace and the constant commotion

I am the weight of collective conscience awoken

I am the space for the rebel to revolt in

and I will not behave myself

All we’ve been told, we’ve been told is just another story

All we’ve been sold, we’ve been sold is just a rich man’s story

Under the skies and out of control

Get ready for my dangerous soul

Unshakeable heart

Unstoppable change

Now I see the bars of this cage

can’t hold, this rage, the turning page, can’t stop, this change

now I see the bars of this cage
