Lyrics
Not Your Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Over being told to be undressed to look our best
Everywhere my eyes go, our figure is less, voice suppressed
But look how very far we have come
Cast a vote, wear pants, and clamp on a gun
No, it's not your way, not your way
Not going to obey, to obey
This is my party, party
And you don't have a say, have a say
This is my own life, own life
Not growing up to be a trophy wife
So don't parade us 'round, 'round we go
In your twisted world and I'm saying no
No no
No, it's not your way, not your way
No no no no, no no no
Lower and lower our standards go as your money grows
Fill us up with plastic and cut us up and tie a bow
But look how very far we have come
Strip us of our width, disguise it like we have won
No, it's not your way, not your way
Not going to obey, to obey
This is my party, party
And you don't have a say, have a say
This is my own life, own life
Not growing up to be a trophy wife
So don't parade us 'round, 'round we go
In your twisted world, and I'm saying no
No no
No, it's not your way, not your way
No no no no, no no no
Are we making ourselves clear?
We're all the same under here
This is my disposition
Apologies for breaking your traditions
It takes two to tango
And we're saying...(two, three!)
It's not your way, not your way
Not going to obey, to obey
This is my party, party
And you don't have a say, have a say
This is my own life, own life
Not growing up to be the trophy wife
So don't parade us 'round, 'round we go
In your twisted world, and I'm saying no
No no
No, it's not your way, not your way
No no no no, no no no
