Thinking back to when I was young And the world It was huge I was strong I couldn't lose Hadn't yet learned to hold my tongue How was I supposed to see The ways that girls are meant to be How was I supposed to know If nobody had taught me so I shut my mouth and closed my eyes If they told me Not to speak I would laugh And I would shriek And never show them the tears I cried How was I supposed to care When all the rules were so unfair If a loud girl will be labeled a bitch Then I'm a bitch and I'm proud of it So don't test my patience I just can't take it All you old bigots And your tiny boxes I wanted to be one of the boys But I learned Even then The world would never Be my friend And they'd only treat me like a toy How am I supposed to live In a world with so much hate to give How am I supposed to stay Silent when I've got shit to say So don't test my patience I just can't take it All you old bigots And your tiny boxes Supposed to hide in the crowd But I wanna be proud of who I am I'm gonna scream it out loud I'm gonna scream it out loud So don't test my patience I just can't take it All you old bigots And your tiny boxes
