Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to have long hair
I used to smile when I walked
I used to be someone I hated
I used to cry a lot
I used to think I was a woman
So I got used to pulling the short stick
Now you all think I'm man enough
But I got so used to pulling the short stick
And I don't know what to do with all this privilege
[Chorus]
'Cause I got a voice now
I got power
But I can't stand it
Yeah, I got a voice now
I got power
But I can't stand it
[Instrumental]
Nobody interrupts me
Nobody second-guesses my opinions
Nobody tells me that I can't do it
But I got so used to pulling the short stick
And I don't know what to do with all this privilege
[Chorus]
'Cause I got a voice now
I got power
But I can't stand it
Yeah, I got a voice now
I got power
And I can't stand it
[Bridge]
I'm tired of people trying to erase me
[Instrumental]
I'm tired of people trying to erase me
[Instrumental]
I'm tired of people trying to erase me
I'm tired of people trying to erase me
Yeah, I'm tired of people trying to erase me
Yeah, I'm tired of people trying to erase me
Yeah, I'm tired of people trying to erase me
[Outro]
But I got a voice now
I got power
But I can't stand it
[Instrumental]
