Now, let me stress that I know noting about music and these words are really just poetry meant to be sung. Anyway, I just find writing this kind of stuff cathartic and relaxing, so take it for what it is. You often hear people say “Slay the patriarchy.” This is would be a really hard pop rock song. I don’t have a beat, but I guess I have a mood. This would be one of those songs where the only thing people would care about would be the chorus. This would be sung by a woman.
Slay
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
the man is always holding women down
telling us to smile
tells us we’ll get farther along
by playing along
but there’s only one solution
to this problem my friend
only one thing to end our problems
the thing to do quick as can be is
slay the patriarchy!
that’s what I sing
slay the patriarchy!
that’s what I believe
slay the patriarchy, baby!
swinging their dicks
telling us to take another hit
we’re done with taking their shit
we’ve got a plan
we’ve got the place we’re going
the play we’re going to take a stand
we’re done nodding our head
we’ve got a mind of our own
no need to bemoan our groan
things are going to change
that’s what we proclaim
we’re going to slay, slay, slay
slay the patriarchy
do it our way
end the oppression of women-kind
just you wait
we’re going to do just fine
slay the patriarchy!
that’s what I sing
slay the patriarchy!
that’s what I believe
slay the patriarchy, baby!
[bridge]
the new age is about to arrive
one for us to believe in
we’re all going to be free
when we end the patriarchy
now just you see
wait when we get want
if we don’t watch the Times
we’ll be in the streets
busting out more than rhymes
our cause is just
history is on our side
history is on our side
history is on our side
