Born a Girl Lyrics

BORN A GIRL (Brutus' Daughters)

WHEN IT WAS DONE, NO ONE COULD HELP
HER ONLY FAULT WAS TO BE BORN A GIRL
TAUGHT BY HER DADDY TO STAY AT HOME
TO SERVE HIM DINNER WHEN IT WAS NINE O´CLOCK
YOU MUST DO LAUNDRY SEW ALL THE TORN-CLOTHES
THESE ARE THE RULES, KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED
MUMMY JUST TOLD ME HOW TO BEHAVE
KNEEL DOWN IN SILENCE THE LESSON I LEARNT

WHEN SHE WAS GONE NOTHING HAS CHANGED
THE WALLS AROUND HER OPPRESSED HER PAIN
TOLD BY HER HUSBAND TO STAY AT HOME
TO MAKE HIM LOVE AFTER COMING FROM WORK
THE YEARS WENT BY MY BODY STOPPED TO GROW UP OLD ADULT
THEY WANT ME TO BECOME ANOTHER MAN'S ADORNMENT
MY FATE WAS BEING CONTROLLED AND I IMPRISONED COULDN'T ESCAPE
A HEADSTONE CARVED INSIDE THE WEDDING RING HE GAVE ME

HER CHILDHOOD WENT BY AS THE BLOOD OF HER VEINS
RUNNING INSIDE GROWING IN RAGE
IF YOU WANTED TO BE A GOOD WIFE
SUBMISSION AND GLORY WOULD BE LEFT ASIDE
YOU MUST DO LAUNDRY SEW ALL THE TORN-CLOTHES
THESE ARE THE RULES KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED
NOBODY TAUGHT ME HOW COULD I ESCAPE
KNEEL DOWN IN SILENCE THE LESSON I LEARNT
