How Can I Sing Like a Girl?

2 Plays

Duration: 4:28

[Verse 1] Birds are calling to sing along But my window's painted shut And all that year of chorus taught me Is out of style and long forgot [Chorus] How can I sing like a girl And not be stigmatized by the rest of the world? Tell me how can I sing like a girl And not be objectified, as if I were a girl? [Bridge] I want to raise my freak flag Higher and higher and I want to raise my freak flag And never be alone, never be alone [Verse 2] From the watchtowers I've been spotted Fingers pointing at my mouth Spotlights turn and pivot towards me But I dare not make a sound [Chorus] How can I sing like a girl And not be stigmatized by the rest of the world? Tell me how can I sing like a girl And not be objectified as if I were a girl? [Post-Chorus] I want to raise my freak flag Higher and higher and I want to raise my freak flag And never be alone, never be alone [Chorus] How can I sing like a girl And not be stigmatized by the rest of the world? Tell me how can I sing like a girl And not be objectified, as if I were a girl? [Outro] How can I sing like a girl? How can I sing like a girl? How can I sing like a girl? How can I sing like a girl?
