lirik lagu fear of a female planet – marsy mars

verse 1
one day, as i journeyed round the house
my tastebuds a philasterian rapture ‘bout this baked alaska
i heard a shout “now recite to me the principles
of establishing safety in a romantic situation that we learned!”
it seems ma had another lesson in session, teaching
sis the rules of boundaries and self*possession in the game of love
this time i thought i’d wander in and observe; to my sugar*dairy*
rushing nerve ma thundered “thеre’s no place for you herе!”
sis insisted i be permitted to sit, held on to my arm; i did
as mum recalled all the ways that men had done her harm
emotional manipulation, fetishes for strangulation
a bladder battered so hard as to be made weak
the burn mark i’d thought was a birthmark on her arm
“i bet you wish you’d never come in,” said she
“now, though you may no longer know your mother, you know me”
it left me pale with rage and shame; i blamed the b&j for giving
me the adventurer’s esprit that led me to these what*if fields
“learn the well bottom girl” she turned and said to sis, “or soon
you’ll find that you’re defending men against yourself”

pre*chorus
“she’s one of those double agents, your mother,”
dad said “it’s a woman’s world, to them we advertise
in polling’s eyes they do much better without us”
and then he went away, looking like he had more to say
like
chorus 1
women fear the order of men
and men fear that of women
on this partial and merciless truth
we’ll build our loves to last the years

verse 2
“ma,” i cried as i followed her “is it really true?
are those really all things that happened to you?”
“whether they’re mine or women’s i knew, it’s time
you be alerted to the evils some among your fraternity do”
“then i won’t let them get sis too!” i cried, she smiled, though
ever with snided eye “that’s the attitude i’d hoped would rise
in you, let’s see if it’s stays unhypocritised” “but ma, you saw the
fear in her face; you can make her safe without scaring her like that
teach her a relationship is a great work of art co*created
like one it must begin in familiar regions, then reach beyond”
her eyebrow arched “i see now you’ve obtained
the spyglass of columbia, bid to *n*lyse the world from feminised eyes
your iris’ pane is glazed with strain. you’d do right to harbour fear
of a female planet, it would be chiefly one of pain. at any rate
there is no place in this conversation for a male,” she said
“but ma, how then could one help you make the change?”
i don’t remember what she said, but i recall looking down in the
bath that night, wondering if i could ever be clean again
chorus 2
women fear the order of men
and men fear that of women
on this partial and merciless truth
we’ll build our loves to last the years
if tidal waves don’t bring this man’s world to its end
