Lyrics
Let the fear dislocate,
Expressing the idea of letting go of fear and detachment.
Lest we frown upon the female aggressor,
Warning against disapproving of women who assert themselves aggressively.
Makes no sense, goes against the gender,
Highlighting the contradiction when actions go against traditional gender norms.
Let her anger curse the years of oppression,
Encouraging the expression of anger to rebel against years of oppression.
Blame the mother, sell the sister,
Assigning blame to societal figures (mother, sister) for societal issues.
Before she blows you away.
Suggesting a potential consequence of suppressing women's anger.
Won't someone give her a gun,won't someone,
Advocating for empowering women by providing them with a means of defense.
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone.
Repeating the call for providing a tool of empowerment (a gun) to women.
In a lifetime full of changes,
Reflecting on the persistence of inequality in a lifetime filled with changes.
A woman?s group is still a second-class convention,
Highlighting the continued second-class status of women's groups despite societal changes.
Look around who has the power,
Questioning power dynamics and inequalities in society.
Am I a big mouth with a fix of paranoia,
Expressing self-doubt and questioning if assertiveness is perceived as paranoia.
On your side, on your side,
Declaring allegiance and support for a cause, not just being a passive observer.
Not here for the ride.
Asserting independence and purpose, not participating merely for the sake of it.
Won't someone give her a gun,won't someone,
Reiterating the plea to empower women by providing them with a gun.
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone.
Repeating the call for providing a tool of empowerment (a gun) to women.
Oh oh a gun.
Expressing urgency or emphasis on the idea of arming women.
Half the population, one percent of wealth,
Highlighting the unequal distribution of wealth and power among the population.
Half the population, one percent of wealth,
Repeating the theme of unequal distribution of wealth and power.
Blame the mother sell the sister,
Reassigning blame for societal issues to the mother and sister.
Blame the mother, sell the sister,
Repeating the assignment of blame to the mother and sister.
Oh before I blow you away.
Suggesting a potential consequence of not addressing societal issues.
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone,
Reiterating the plea to empower women by providing them with a gun.
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone,
Repeating the call for providing a tool of empowerment (a gun) to women.
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone,
Continuing the plea to empower women through arming them.
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone.
Repeating the call for providing a tool of empowerment (a gun) to women.
