tiny boxes - sweet petunia lyrics
[verse 1: maddy]
thinking back to when i was young
and the world, it was huge
i was strong
i couldn’t lose
[maddy and mairead]
hadn’t yet learned to hold my tongue
how was i supposed to see
the ways that girls are meant to be
how was i supposed to know
if n-body had taught me so
[verse 2: maddy and mairead]
i shut my mouth and closed my eyes
if they told me not to speak
i would laugh
and i would shriek
and never show them the tears i cried
how am i supposed to care
when all the rules are so unfair
if a loud girl will be labeled a b-tch
then i’m a b-tch and i’m proud of it
[chorus: maddy and mairead]
so don’t test my patience
i just can’t take it
all you old bigots
and your tiny boxes
[verse 3: maddy and mairead]
i wanted to be one of the boys
but i learned even then
the world would never be my friend
they’d only treat me like a toy
how am i supposed to live
in a world with so much hate to give
how am i supposed to stay
silent when i’ve got sh-t to say
[chorus: maddy and mairead]
so don’t test my patience
i just can’t take it
all you old bigots
and your tiny boxes, oh
[bridge: maddy and mairead]
supposed to hide in the crowd
but i wanna be proud
of who i am
i’m gonna scream it out loud
i’m gonna scream it out loud
[chorus: maddy and mairead, screaming]
so don’t test my patience
i just can’t take it
all you old bigots
and your tiny boxes
