First Woman - Crass

I want to start again

With out the end of human

It’s rammed down our throats

How women fought for votes

I don’t want to vote

I know they struggled, but I don’t want to vote anymore

I refuse to carry the means of oppression in turn

I am going to be the first woman in space

Up, I’m tired of looking backwards to find reasons for my state

I’m tired of clever answers

Up, their all too late

Like using other people’s violence to justify your own

I want challenge, challenge, ripped from me

Challenge, challenge fed on a spoon

Challenge, challenge walk too soon

Challenge, challenge

Want to say mama

Ancient superstitions, prophecies of shame

Plowed into the mind to see the game
