Madame Gandhi the future is female feat merrill garbus of tune yards

Select language to translate this lyric

I heard Amy Poehler speak at the White House
Her words hit me hard like a light bulb
Fictitious depictions of girls must die out
If we want to live in a world that triumphs
I am just talking about loving the femme
I ain't talking bout nobody else
Toxic masculinity has to end
I am just talking about loving ourselves
You can catch me singing these words
In a black Otherwild Future is Female t-shirt
Like AY! Me, I got something to say
Gender constructions just get in the way
I've been playing drums since I was like 8
The future is female, the future is great!
The future is female
The future is female
Own your voice don't be afraid
There's power in what you say
Own your voice don't be afraid
There's power in what you say
How could girly ever be an insult?
All the women I know are ones moving culture
What would happen if we all would lead
with a little less aggression more femininity?
We have to value girls more than their looks
The biggest threat is a girl with a book
The system must make room for all that we do
We've been bleeding each month till we gave birth to you!
To me, The Future is female means that no longer
will female qualities be subordinated to male qualities
I want to live in a world that is collaborative
A world that is emotionally intelligent
A world in which we are linked and not ranked
The future is female
The future is female
Own your voice don't be afraid
There's power in what you say
Own your voice don't be afraid
There's power in what you say
The future is female
The future is female
The future is female
The future is female
