April Song 3: "Must Be Nice" by Lauren Ruth Ward

By Ventipop @ventipop

Must be nice
To be able to choose
What is best for me, and more importantly
What's best for you
Oh yeah, must be nice
To have a supported plan
Why do you think you're always right? Oh, that's right!
You're a straight white man
I said, it must be nice
To be assured and calm
You walk right into the room
Everybody takes a seat in your palm
Not me, babe
(Shit, ah!)
It must be nice
To not feel the bleed
You can't relate, puritan masturbation
You come in your sleep
It must be nice
Oh, to stand when you pee
Oh, why don't you stand up at the border
'Stead of power-trippin' minorities

Must be nice
To have all the money in the world
Sad for you, your priorities are warped
You can't even get a girl
Must be nice
To have all the power
Oh, but don't loose the key to the patriarchy
Then you'll just be a coward
Must be nice
To have an education
Don't forget to dot the "I"
When you crucify us for our lesser situation
It must be nice
To sit back, relax, and follow
If you don't understand what I'm sayin', man:
You are the problem
It must be real nice, babe
It must be nice
Aw sweetheart, yeah, it must be fuckin' nice
Uh, I don't mean to patronize the patriarchy, but
I'm just sayin', yeah, I'm just singin'
Yeah, I'm singin'
Must be nice
Hey, it must be nice
Oh, it must be nice
Uh, it must be nice, yeah

Female is the futuristic way of thinkin'
Don't call me a static or say I'm wishful thinkin'
Ain't drinkin' your Kool-aid of lies
Won't hide or abide by the rules only made for and by rulers, yeah
We fight then we cry
Then we fight, then we cry
Then we fight, then we cry
Then we fight, then we cry
We fight then we cry
Then we fight, then we cry
Then we fight, then we cry
Oh, must be nice!
It must be nice
Must be nice
Must be nice
Must be very nice
Must be nice!
