Sickness

Pleasing, teasing... or controlled but rough

We play out our roles all according to the master plan

Never gave a second thought that maybe they were planted

Everything you thought was inborn is socially constructed

Like father, like son

Like mother, like daughter

Like sister, like brother

We pass the sickness on

Tabloid propaganda promoting stereotypes

'ten steps to better sex' - f*** off! I couldn't be bothered

But sex sells and men pay so here we go again

The power structure kept in balance with gender acting roles

Like father, like son

Like mother, like daughter

Like sister, like brother

We pass the sickness on

f*** you for smearing my sexuality with filth

For letting me inherit your fear, shame and guilt

I am just a naked boy with an erection

and with my heart I despite male tradition

f*** you for smearing my sexuality with filth

For letting me inherit your fear, shame and guilt

I am a girl and I happen to be naked

but that doesn't mean I want to have sex
