In 1981 Eve Libertine punched me in the head

The monotony of matrimony is calamity

Binding binary boxes are worse than death

She fucked the patriarchy with eloquent temerity

Women aren’t possessions and men aren’t protectors`

 Love as a transaction is a stifling contract,

Together we can all be our own liberators.

Radically free in the face of existential facts.

 

In 1981 Eve Libertine changed my mind

Monogamy is a prison of systematic obedience

Unthinking, unloving, monotonous compliance.

We ‘re free when cooperative and kind

It’s the cruelty of the system we can’t swallow

Romance is repression, a collective masking.

Gender is a script you don’t need to follow

No vision is left; why did we stop asking.?

 

In 1981 Eve Libertine got in my brain.

Loving one doesn’t mean you can’t love another.

You can care and share without pain

Love is free and doesn’t need to smother.

Patriarchy and its violence are stoppable.

Gender equality is always possible,

Sexual conflict is solvable.

Because underneath we’re all lovable.

 

What would it be like if we broke the chains

And lived the life that felt comfortable?

What if we forget about male and female brains

And stop making difference a source of trouble?

Anyone can take care of babies and even cry.

Anyone can lead, be bossy, or take charge.

Biology is a fact but gender is a lie

It’s a fucked up fiction we can discharge.

 

The patriarchy only serves violence and conquest.

Oppress one another and the oligarchs can rest.

Don’t do the work of the system for them.

Be your own drummer; dance to your own rhythm.

A warlike system wants war between the sexes,

But the peaceful have the power to call the shots.

Pull yourself out of programmed vortexes.

We want equality and freedom for the lot.

Masculinity/Femininity. I don’t see the point.

Androgyny and freedom is what I want.
