Title: Toxic Femininity (Contains Swearing!)
Post by: LilPeeper on June 13, 2021, 06:54:15 PM
Pippa reads English in Glasgow Uni
Pizza on a Friday, but hold the Halloumi
I told a lie and she saw straight through me
Man!
Oh man!

She likes her men to be weak and feeble
Left wingers only, all others are evil
Migrants are welcome, don't call it illegal
Damn!
Oh damn!

Chorus:
Enough of your toxic femininity
Them bitches have really got it in for me
Enough of your toxic femininity
Stop trying to cancel all I wanna be

Pippa's got a brother without a penis
Headed for Mars, but she grew up on Venus
I had to laugh, they referred me to Jesus
Man!
Oh man!

Pippa's nineteen but claims she's still a virgin
Only thing in her mouth was a dental surgeon
I hate the way that this wave is emerging
Damn!
Oh damn!

Chorus:
Enough of your toxic femininity
Them bitches have really got it in for me
Enough of your toxic femininity
Stop trying to cancel all I wanna be

No, you're a cook in the kitchen
No, you're a whore in the bed
Maybe I'm just sick of your bitchin'
Go get a sense of humour instead

Chorus:
Enough of your toxic femininity
Them bitches have really got it in for me
Enough of your toxic femininity
Stop trying to cancel all I wanna be

Some of the lines in this are superb @LilPeeper (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22775) ..a great line to start with & the "virgin..dental surgeon" gave me a laugh. A nice mix in this song/poem between aggressive & comedic.
Would be interested to hear this put to music..do you have a rhythm in your head when you`re writing it? Try & give it a go.. or call it a poem & then it doesn`t need music. :D
Good stuff,
All the best,
Lars.

Many thanks @5 guys named Lars (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22535) I was thinking sort of early noughties punk rocky along the lines of Sum 41/Blink 182 sort of thing. I can't do music unfortunately, but I have a love of writing songs.

that's fun
hope it gets music
the theme really works for me
I hate the Woke thing, it's for dead heads, a substitute for thinking

Thanks @rightly (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20219) totally agree about the whole Woke movement. Being a member of LGBT+TKXM whatever myself, I can't stand how far things have gone. As grateful as I am that things aren't like they were many years back, we've got to stage where people get cancelled for having a different opinion and Transpeople can't be called by their birth name. It's gotten stupid. People can choose not to be offended, but they'd rather cancel others WTF?

Really liked this you have a real talent for wordplay, hope you can find the music to do it justice.

Probably the best flowing lyrics I have read in a while, you know if you have a tune in your head and you don't play an instrument just sing or say your words into a recorder and listen back and take it from there, I read your lyrics in a flow and the flow sounds great to me
