Lyrics MisterWives

MisterWives

Not Your Way

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 prop up a gun

No, it's not your way, not your way

Not going to obey, to obey

This is my body, body

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, 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 body, body

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, 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 body, body

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, it's not your way, not your way

No no no no, no no no
