Liqueur
Breaking Stereotypes with Rooftop Sailors' Liqueur Anthem
Lyrics
Oh what is typical?
Questioning the concept of typicality.
A guy who’s voice is low?
Challenging the stereotype of a deep-voiced man.
Who’s acting like he never caves in?
Questioning the facade of never showing vulnerability.
Man’s a constructed term
Suggesting that the term "man" is socially constructed.
‘Cause I could wear a skirt
Challenging gender norms by mentioning wearing a skirt.
And be as manly as caveman, she said:
Asserting that one can be manly regardless of appearance.
“Are you sure that you are absolutely straight?
Questioning someone's sexual orientation based on stereotypes.
Because you wear rings and paint your fingernails.”
Highlighting the absurdity of judging based on external attributes.
Ain’t got no booze baby
Expressing a lack of conventional alcohol.
I got the liqueur
Substituting traditional booze with the metaphorical "liqueur."
Your mind’s on snooze baby
Commenting on someone's mental state being inactive or passive.
Your mind’s a sticker
Describing a mind as stuck or unresponsive.
I am a dreamer, utopian preacher
Identifying as a dreamer and advocate of utopian ideals.
Ain’t got no booze baby
Reiterating the absence of traditional alcohol.
I got the liqueur
Repeating the metaphorical presence of "liqueur."
Copied original
Referencing an imitation of the original, questioning authenticity.
You’re so predictable
Pointing out predictability as a response to expectations.
I’m sorry if I disappoint you, not true
Denying the desire to conform and apologizing for disappointing.
Oh, what is masculine? A mask that lies within?
Raising questions about the definition of masculinity.
No way I’ll reinforce your mind-set, she said:
Rejecting the reinforcement of traditional gender norms.
“Are you sure that you are absolutely straight?
Questioning one's sexual orientation based on piercing and behavior.
‘Cause you have your nose pierced and you hug your mates”
Highlighting the absurdity of judgment based on appearance.
Ain’t got no booze baby
Repeating the absence of conventional alcohol.
I got the liqueur
Reiterating the metaphorical presence of "liqueur."
Ain’t got no booze baby
Emphasizing the lack of traditional alcohol.
I got the liqueur
Repeating the metaphorical presence of "liqueur."
Your mind’s on snooze baby
Describing a mind as stuck or unresponsive.
Your mind’s a sticker
Reiterating the idea of a passive or unresponsive mind.
I am a dreamer, utopian preacher
Identifying as a dreamer and advocate of utopian ideals.
Ain’t got no booze baby
Reiterating the absence of traditional alcohol.
I got the liqueur
Repeating the metaphorical presence of "liqueur."
I am a dreamer, utopian preacher
Repeating the identity as a dreamer and utopian preacher.
I give you my reasons and hope that you keep ‘em
Sharing reasons for the utopian ideals, hoping for understanding.
Your mind’s on snooze baby
Describing a mind as stuck or unresponsive.
Your mind’s a sticker
Reiterating the idea of a passive or unresponsive mind.
I am a dreamer, utopian preacher
Identifying as a dreamer and advocate of utopian ideals.
Ain’t got no booze baby
Reiterating the absence of traditional alcohol.
Ain’t got no booze
Emphasizing the absence of conventional booze.
