Lyrics

There's no escaping from The man it seems that I've become Despite the fact that we are one I turn my back and I try and run away Don't make me put 'em on The trousers you bought yesterday Probably won't fit me anyway If I close my eyes and I hope that I might change The scourge of the sailors You better stay away I'll be the butt of the playground jokes today But I'll be a mermaid and I will have my way When I slip back to the sea again There's nowhere I can run To beat the taunts that you find fun And to be the daughter and not the son I wonder if that's what you really crave There's no escaping from The man it seems that I've become Despite the fact that we are one I close my eyes and I hope that I might change The scourge of the sailors You better stay away I'm the butt of the playground jokes today But I'll be a mermaid and I will have my way When I slip back to the sea again The scourge of the sailors You better stay away I'll be the butt of the playground jokes today But I will be a mermaid and I will have my way When I slip back to the sea again
