FAWM: "What woMEN Want"

What woMEN Want

NSFW

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Ok... I guess I was wrong about being done with my angry songs. This one's gonna have to go under Obsidian too.

I hated that I hadn't actually explicitly (AND HOW!) gone after the patriarchy. I mean... it's baked into most of the songs on Obsidian, but I wanted a very clear, up front, no way of mistaking it, song going for the throat.

This one's gonna be a tough one. Leaning heavily into the more rap inspired parts of nu metal, getting the rhythm right is gonna be a challenge.

Lyrics

(intro)
Oh look! A man with an opinion!
Never seen one of those before.

(Verse)
Okie dokie creepy fucky
I might be a freak
But when it comes to straight up nightmare fuel
You shit out the whole fucking cake
Claiming you know what's best for us
So, why don't you come on down from the incel bus
And please share your thoughts with the class
Before I lose my shit and beat your ass

(Verse 2)
So... what are the bars for?
Oh! Protecting women...
And the shackles?
Oh... protecting women...
The controlling her life?
Oh... protecting women...
Y'know... I'm not so sure you know what protecting means

(Chorus)
The only thing you're protecting is yourself.
Want to keep women up on your shelf
Just take us down to play when you get an itch
Fucking sub par little shitbitch!
Instead of bettering your pathetic ass
You expect women to give you a pass
Push that misogyny pedal to the metal
and tell women to settle.

(Verse 3)
You want a woman that's pure?
Oh! You just want dibs on her bits.
You want a woman that's uneducated?
A little too threatening, eh? (wink wink)
You want a woman that's submissive?
So you can be fucking dismissive
All I'm hearing is what YOU want.
You don't give a shit what she wants.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
You! You! You! You! You! You!
All I hear is what YOU want from women
So fucking typical. Women couldn't possibly have minds of our own
And...gee... I wonder why it's always men with these stupid takes?
Maybe it's because none of it is what women want?
So instead of making women bend to your dipshit desires
Maybe your entitled ass can shut up and sit down. You're not owed shit.

(Chorus)

The intro had me cackling right off the bat! These are such clever lyrics, and you've done a magnificent job with the rhythm & rhyme. "Fucking sub par little shitbitch!" especially stood out to me as well composed (and fun!). A lot of guys need to get this message through their heads. You've done a great work conveying the frustration so many women & female people feel about men.
