ONSIND LYRICS

"Riot Don't Diet"

In '79 a female leader had such an abject case of penis envy, She agree to house the biggest nuclear phalluses in the world on home shores, at the height of the Cold War, not only making us a target but a closer one to aim for, and yet every argument on gender politics since, has included her name as an example of our 'progress', but people are missing the point she got to where she did because she hates womanhood with all her heart. And if that's equality I'll eat my hat, if that's equality I'll immigrate in 10 seconds flat, if that's equality I'll throw myself off canary wharf and smash a few glass ceilings as I fall. We're singing about representation, we're singing about the gender pay gap, we're singing about deconstruction, we're even singing about gangster rap. You think Feminism died when women got the vote, I think you've got your fucking head in the sand and as long as we're still audible we'll fucking sing until you understand that if that's equality I'll eat my hat, if that's equality I'll immigrate in 10 seconds flat, if that's equality I'll throw myself off canary wharf and smash a few glass ceilings as I fall. This matter seems very simple, you can't respect what you objectify, and silence is compliance, and we'll be screaming til we fucking die, Democracy means rule by the people, not a few old white men controlling the state, why are we acting like the benchmark? We need to get our own house in shape, because if that's equality I'll eat my hat, if that's equality I'll immigrate in 10 seconds flat, if that's equality I'll throw myself off canary wharf and smash a few glass ceilings as I fall. We watch the documentaries, ashamed at how barbaric we were to treat our children like that then the adverts breed, a fictional image of 'femininity', we're so desensitized, that we can't see the reflections of these expectations flickering in the eyes of our daughters. And if that's equality I'll eat my hat, if that's equality I'll immigrate in 10 seconds flat, if that's equality I'll throw myself off canary wharf and smash a few glass ceilings as I fall. With any luck I'll smash a few glass ceilings as I fall and shower a few Armani suits with blood n'all.
