#who cares about body hair
Who cares about body hair?
V1:
Why’d we let greedy profiteers decide (10)
About our bodies and what goes inside? (10)
Or what should be on them to be pretty, (10)
So we’d look the same in ev’ry city? (10)
It is now the hour (5)
To take back power! (5)Chorus:
You’re already beautiful in your skin (10)
Whether you’re dark, fair, fat or thin! (8)
Hair removal ads try to get you down, (10)
Don’t doubt yourself: ignore those clowns! (8)V2:
Even if those shiny razors and wax strips
Claim to better your legs or upper lips
Don’t put those packaged liars on your shelf
Unless you’re doing it just for yourself!
It is now the hour
To take back power!Chorus
V3:
There is not just one way to be human,
The truth about this will have ‘em fumin’!
P&G wants to make you think you need
Smooth, hairless, shaved skin; look beyond their greed!
It is now the hour,
To take back power!Chorus
V4:
They’ll try to claim it’s for basic hygiene:
But that’s just a lie for all to be seen.
The obsession with prepubescence
Is creepy and patriarchal nonsense!
It is now the hour,
To take back power!Chorus
V5:
Your body is your own and yours alone!
You are a person, not filling some zone.
Your body’s beautiful, hairy or not;
Don’t give Patriarchy a second thought!
It is now the hour,
To take back power!Chorus
V6:
Then there is the whole damn issue with pain:
Pour hot wax, plucking again and again!
An expectation for some to endure:
For men’s approval?! To be seen as pure?!
It is now the hour,
To take back power!Chorus
V7:
If it’s not your body, you get no say:
Not today, tomorrow or any day!
Keep your damn shame and judgment to yourself:
That junk, like razors, belongs on no shelf!
It is now the hour,
To take back power!Chorus
