Single Standard

Don’t get me wrong
I understand
That you think you’re doing me a favor
But I don’t need you to hold my hand
So take it back
Let’s think this through
See, every time you elevate yourself above me
You’re putting yourself down too
Because they don’t give a shit about you
They want to try to define us
The way we are is just fine for us
This is not just my fight
This is also your fight
Do you really want somebody else to
Tell you who to be?
So listen up
Take it from me
See, every time they tell me how to be a woman
They’re telling you how a man should be
Those kind of lies
They hurt us all
It’s up to us to make a choice to stand united
It’s time that we tear down walls
Because those walls
Have no place here
So don’t walk in front of me
I will not follow
Just walk beside me
And be my friend
Don’t walk in front of me
I will not follow
Just walk beside me
And be my friend
Tear down
Society’s wrongs
Fight for a world where we all can belong
This is your chance
To stand for what’s right:
We need allies, not white knights
We need allies, not white knights
