Desperation by Contravene
Desperation lyrics
There are women on the billboards and in commercials on
TV
There are women selling products with their own bodies
Women selling beer, cigarettes and gum
Women looking shallow-minded and inherently dumb
Women selling cars, cosmetics and attire
Telling us to look good, this is what's required
There are women on the corners selling themselves upon
the streets
Why are women so expected to sell their own sexuality?
There are women in magazines to tell us how to act
Manipulating us as children, telling us it's fact
There are women who have figured out to make a decent
wage
It's worth the humiliation of dancing on a stage
Greedy eyes fixed on her, she has to hold a smile
Cause she's single with two children and the pay makes
it worth while
They pay women for their sexuality, they know that it
will sell
And some women see the money as an escape from their
own hell
Aah
Desperation
Aah
Desperation
Aah
It's time to rethink and relearn, and open up our eyes
Desperation
Both the sex industry and advertisors feed on
desparation
Preying on inequality, the accepted male/female
relation
The more insecure the better, that's when we believe
their lies
It's time to rethink and relearn, and open up our eyes
And open up our eyes
And open up our eyes
Up our eyes
And open up our eyes
