The Other Half

Never got to play the hero

Never got to be the prince

I wanna be the strong one

Wanna be the tall one

But they kept me small, told me to quit

All the kids out on the sidewalk

They’ve decided who should win

I’m never on the right side

Always on the wrong side

All I wanted was to just fit in

Wish I could speak out

And know that I’m believed

Can I be proud

With no apology

Wanna scream out

But they try to silence me

Can you make a little room?

Can you share a little space?

For the other half of the human race

We’re not asking for the world

Not trying to take your place

But we’re not going back to your good old days

Ooooo

No we’re not going back to your good old days

All the suits around the table

Say that I can’t sit with them

Been climbing up their ladder

They act like I don’t matter

So why the hell do I want to fit in?

I’m gonna speak out

Make sure that I’m believed

Gonna be proud

Give no apology

While I scream out

I won’t let them silence me

Can you make a little room?

Can you share a little space?

For the other half of the human race

We’re not asking for the world

Not trying to take your place

But we’re not going back to your good old days

Ooooo

No we’re not going back to your good old days

Ooooo

No we’re not going back to your good old days

Sit still

Say yes

Can’t move in this dress

Do what they say

I’m still here

I’ve had enough

Of your boy’s club

I call time’s up

Go on and make a little room

Share a little space

For the other half of the human race

Ooooo

No we’re not going back to your good old days

Ooooo

No we’re not going back to your good old days
