Tiny Boxes Lyrics by Sweet Petunia

Sweet Petunia

0

[Verse 1: Maddy]

Thinking back to when I was young
And the world, it was huge
I was strong
I couldn't lose
[Maddy and Mairead]
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

[Verse 2: Maddy and Mairead]

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 am I supposed to care
When all the rules are so unfair
If a loud girl will be labeled a bitch
Then I'm a bitch and I'm proud of it

[Chorus: Maddy and Mairead]

So don't test my patience
I just can't take it
All you old bigots
And your tiny boxes

[Verse 3: Maddy and Mairead]

I wanted to be one of the boys
But I learned even then
The world would never be my friend
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

[Chorus: Maddy and Mairead]

So don't test my patience
I just can't take it
All you old bigots
And your tiny boxes, oh

[Bridge: Maddy and Mairead]

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

[Chorus: Maddy and Mairead, screaming]

So don't test my patience
I just can't take it
All you old bigots
And your tiny boxes
