This Is Not a Feminist Song (feat. SNL)

The world, it needs an anthem

For all of womankind

The song to fight, the song to right

The wrongs of all of time

So we put pen to paper

And wrote all through the night

A gorgeous ode to feminism

Well within our sights

But this is pretty nuanced stuff

And putting it all in one song was tough

And that's why

This is not a feminist song

We tried real hard, but it took too long

This is not a feminist song

Cause we were scared we would do it wrong

We know women need an anthem

A song to call their own

But we didn't write that anthem

We went home

Every woman has a struggle

And every struggle's real

But just try and write a song that captures

Every woman's deal

Here's us running in the sand

And here's a bunch of lens flares

And an old woman's hands

Not to call a woman old

Or judge a woman's hands

We know a woman shouldn't be

Reduced to just her hands

We stepped right into that trap

It's so hard to navigate this crap

And that's why

This is not a feminist song

So technically it can't be wrong

This is not a feminist song

I feel like we've been singing so long

Our ancestors, they fought for us

So they deserve a song

But this is not that song

So move along

Now here's some powerful footage

For a song we did not write

It's malala, maya angelou

And madeleine albright

And rbg, she taught me

That women can be strong

And that women have the right to choose

To bail on this whole song, oh, yeah

And that's why

This is not a feminist song

We're just women singing a song

But doesn't that make it a feminist song?

I guess this was feminist all along

This is a feminist song

Tweet it, hashtag #feministsong

Where are the men in this feminist song?

An excellent point, now move along

Cause now it's time for you at home

To weigh in on this song

And tell us if we handled it all wrong

This is a tough and tricky landmine of a song
