it's a new year
or about to be
I wanna forgive
everything that has harmed me
roll off me now,
wave of cell tower
leave me now
my hands all power
here I am
there's a lottery
all in front of me
paid for by oil wars
and some cheesy company
we see through
the smoke and screens
we can be the bigger dream
yes we can
look what we bought, for nothing
got caught, for loving
found out, there’s nothing
no ground to grow on
but we, we did our part
we cried, we built a heart
now we are way too smart
to sing your war songs
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
I'm the woman
in the underground
the most amazing sound
we sing through everything
that tries to cut us down
we’re not all just on our knees
we can be the bigger dream
yes we can
yes ma’am
look what we bought, for nothing
got caught, for loving
found out there’s nothing
no ground to grow on
and we, we did our part
we cried, we built a heart
now we are way too smart
to sing your war songs
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
you're the man
I'm the woman

I can take a stand
stand up here and
take it like a man
like chin and sin
is all I’m made of
and all I’m made in
I’m an easy target
I’m an easy target
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
I’m just proud
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
I’m just proud
you take your aim
stand right there
call me all your names
like skin I’m in
is all I’m made of
and all I’m made in
I’m an easy target
I’m an easy target
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
I’m still proud
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
I’m still proud
all your talk
about how I walk
put a limp in my step
instead of lift me up
It’s ok
I know how the man
always gets his way
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
I’m still proud
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
I’m still proud

Grey day, stain me
carry tethers
test the weather
lick my feathers
taste like leather
robot jobs and parking lots
and lots and lots of
parking lots
i wade to find the edge of streets
i go to ground so i can breathe
the only roads are roads that leave
the footpaths all owned privately
so dirt roads
lead me
change the scenery
HELLO MEADOW!
needers, feeders
cargo heavy
rape the ready
have no heart
and only heady
build your banks
and give no thanks
all banks and tanks
all banks no thanks
Ooh i'm such a winner!
pesticides for dinner!
mow for malls
and free-for-alls
and Mother Nature's thinner
so dirt roads
lead me
change of scenery
HELLO MEADOW!
game shows, fake blows
see we need the breath of trees
then cut it all for condos
fill your tanks create the ranks
make it cheap and easy
make it all so sleazy
you build your wall
with bricks of fear
when Immigration’s
why you’re here
so dirt roads
lead me
change the scenery
HELLO MEADOW!

In the notebook of my life
This line is so painful to write
I never did dream I’d be
Without you tonight
That chapter how it ended
My heart broke and it bended
The weight so great put my back out of place
And I probably won’t ever mend it
It’s ok, I’m all right
I keep telling myself to keep it light
I’m fine, It’s just time
I know I know I know
That you were never mine
You will always be
A permanent marker on me
And I will always be
Searching for you
These are the pages I’m in
And now a new one begins
(These are the spiral-bound pages)
And now I’m all alone
All the way over a time zone
So far from our old home
Or the streets we know
And I’m halfway down the road of my life
You’re a story I couldn’t hold I couldn’t write
And every day I’m one day older am I right
And every day you were fucking cold and that’s life
It’s ok, I’m all right
I keep telling myself to keep it light
I’m fine, take your time
I know I know I know
That you were never mine
You will always be
A permanent marker on me
And I will always be
Searching for you
These are the pages I’m in
And now a new one begins
(These are the spiral-bound pages)
I got one song of loving you
Two songs of leaving you
I got headlights in front of me
Nothing but empty streets
I just want us both ok
We rode the dirt road back to where it's paved
I think you are the leaver and i'm the believer
And these are the cages
These are the pages I’m in
And now a new one begins

Another Wound
03:35
|

Baby I miss you
And you’re right over there
I’ve been feeling so sad now
For so long and so scared
That this is the end of us
And the beginning of me
Is this the end of us
And the beginning of me
Now I got another wound
And this one’s from you
I got another wound
And I know you feel it too
I got another wound
Maybe you miss me
And you’re too proud to say
We’re on two different roads now
And you want it that way
So this is the end of us
And the beginning of me
This is the end of us
And the beginning of me
Now I got another wound
And this one’s from you
I got another wound
And I know you feel it too
I got another wound
A decade loved
A decade lived
A decade loving you
A decade lived
Baby I miss you
And you’re right over there
I’ve been feeling so sad now
For so long and so scared
Now I got another wound
And this one’s from you
I got another wound
And I know you feel it too
I got another wound
I got another wound
And it’s right from you
I got another wound
And I know it hurts you too
I got another wound

Nothing in my Pockets
Nothing in my pockets
Nothing in my town
Nothing in my walk
I just follow you around
Nothing in my mind
Nothing in my jock
Nothing in my mouth
It's just talk it's just talk
I barked up the wrong tree
Banged the wrong door
Let you undress me
Now everything’s sore
I want you out of my head
I want you out of my heart
I want you out of my bed
I want you out of my art
I want you out of my head
Nothing in my window
Nothing on my screen
Nothing in the mirror
I’m just blurry in a dream
Nothing in this city
Nothing going down
No one on my titty
There’s no sound there’s no sound
I’m so thirsty
I just always want more
Feeling so dirty
Now everything’s sore
I want you out of my head
I want you out of my heart
I want you out of my bed
I want you out of my art
I want you out of my head

Polar Bear
03:55

Sometimes it feels like
We’re in the horrible of America
Concrete awful, corporate tax breaks
Made to take all the beauty from this world
Pave over our parks,
Drill out out our hearts
Hit the gas on climate change
Laugh while you do it
Tax the poor
Profit more
Give the reins to kkk
And brag while you do it
Cause Mother Nature
All her creatures
Made in perfect form
To weather the most unimaginable storm
I can hear the howl of the polar bear
I know she’s scared
Sometimes the only comfort I can find
Is to know we’ll all just go extinct
So all the animals, all the plant life
Will come back after we are long gone
With all our idiocies, all our pesticides
All our chemicals that choke out our insides
All our gmos , our factory tanks
Our screaming machines that drown our streams
With nuclear plants
Will fall so Mother Nature
And all her creatures
Will restore themselves then
She will lick her wounds and make again
She will lick her wounds and make again
I can hear the howl of the polar bear
I know she’s scared

Hateful Thoughts
03:40
|

fame fooled me
gave me wings
then schooled me
unwound and cruelly
ruled me
i rebelled through a long line of women
i looked around and saw all of us swimming
starving for air, but still doing our hair
framed when we should have been forgiven
why you gotta have all those hateful thoughts?
why you gotta undo everything we got?
don't you know it hurts, it hurts a lot?
it hurts
I was on your side
I let you undermine my pride
you weren't happy, were you
not until i cried
i had myself a taste of your prison
it was so narrow, your tear-me-down mission
everything black, and everything white
grey-a colorless vision
why you gotta have all those hateful thoughts?
why you gotta undo everything we got?
don't you know it hurts, it hurts a lot?
it hurts
I may not be perfect
but i'm not the Bitch
you make me out to be
one little slip
one heretic sound
you bring out the stakes
and you burn us all down
why you gotta have all those hateful thoughts?
why you gotta undo everything we got?
don't you know it hurts, it hurts a lot?
it hurts

I was a fallen witch
I’m sorry you had to witness it
I was a fallen witch
I’m sorry
I was a fallen witch
And there you had to witness it
I was a fallen witch
Not sorry

Divvy It Up
02:41
|
|||
one night after
one night less of our lives
this place is frozen
with hollowed out eyes
you grab at me
like grabbing's a way to hold something
and it's heavy in bed now
don't wanna go where love goes
just left it locked
like our apartment door, closed
I crawl out in the middle of the night
I smoke the ash and see its little light
I divvy it up
take one last piece of us
divvy it up
leave me with one last buzz
divvy it up
take one last piece of us
divvy it up
leave me with one last buzz
one night after
I got sick of your lies
I got frozen
with her in your eyes
you had me
like having’s a way to hold something
who told you to call my number
who wanted all that was under there
who called and called my blunder
I didn’t even know we were under there
divvy it up
take one last piece of us
divvy it up
leave me with one last buzz
divvy it up
take one last piece of us
divvy it up
leave me with one last buzz
you look at me like looks could kill
I could give you one more fill
but that hole’s crept up now open wide
I wanna lay in it and hide
divvy it up
take one last piece of us
divvy it up
leave me with one last buzz
divvy it up
take one last piece of us
divvy it up
leave me with one last buzz

Bitch Los Angeles, California
The longstanding queer music icon Bitch makes witchy poet pop. She does it with violins and synthesizers, and the songs she writes are spectral, heartbreaking, political, and beautiful. "Bitchcraft" is like Joni Mitchell set to a click track, it’s queer Cyndi Lauper. It’s neon pink, in your face, ready to hex you with its brilliance. ... more
