I'm fed up preaching the same words
For them all to go unheard
I'm not fit for the boys club
Where what we give isn't enough
Don't wanna be pulling at the same chords
To not receive the same rewards as
Boys
We can run if we wanted to but
I'm gonna run circles 'round you
Don't know which way I got to go but
I know that I'm taking the same road as the boys
You get given ladders but
I've got to climb the wall
I'm not worthy of your time
If I'm not the fairest of them all
I'm a boss, not bossy
I'm a cog, not your glossy coat
It's not what you see, it's what you get
It's not what you need but it's what I give, oh
I don't wanna know, wanna know
Don't wanna be pulling at the same chords
To not receive the same rewards as
Don't wanna be a girl who loses her voice
Too fragile to be singing in a crowd of
Boys
We can run if we wanted to but
I'm gonna run circles 'round you
Don't know which way I got to go but
I know that I'm taking the same road as the boys
Boys
I've got curves in the wrong place but
I've got fight in the right way
Don't know which way I got to go but
I know that I'm taking the same road as the boys
Same as the boys
Same as the boys
Same as the boys
Are you done taking
Up space and making
Some sounds worth praising
I've had enough
I'm just the same as the boys
We could run if we wanted to
I'm gonna run circles 'round you
Don't know which way I got to go but
I know that I'm taking the same road as the boys
Same as the boys
Same as the boys
Same as the boys
Same as the boys
