Kristeen Young - Pearl of a Girl Lyrics

I never knew I was a girl
until they stooped to tell me.
I never knew I was disturbed
until they dropped three volumes on me.
But in the Bible/Torah/Quran
there are really no good roles for me
except concubine and wash woman.
I used to be the sad one
now I just want to stab them
it's so severe,
it's brutal.

My ruffian girl
rough, gruff
na na na nuff, I know
it's so severe. it's brutal

They've needed to have the law
so they can legally bind us.
They've needed to have the church
so they can morally ground us.
They've needed most of the dough
they must be so scared of us.
So their stories are of ghosts.
I only wish the virgin would've had an abortion.

So composed, it's so severe.
In repose but it's so severe.
You're so calm but it's so severe.
