Pearl of a Girl

I never knew I was a girl until they stooped to tell me.
I never knew I was disturbed until they dropped 3 volumes on me.
But, in the Bible/Torah/Quran, there are really no good roles for me
(except concubine and washwoman).
I used to be the sad one.
Now, I just wanna stab them.
It' so severe.
It's brutal, my ruffian girl
Rough, gruff, na na na nuff, I know it's so severe.
It's brutal, my ruffian girl.
Rough, gruff, na na na nuff, I know
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'd only wish the Virgin would've had an abortion
It' so severe.
It's brutal, my ruffian girl
Rough, gruff, na na na nuff, I know it's so severe.
It's brutal, my ruffian girl.
Rough, gruff, na na na nuff, I know
So composed, but it's so severe.
In repose, but it's so severe.
You're so calm, but it's so severe.
How are you calm when it's so severe?!
It's so severe!
Why are we even still talking about it?!
It' so severe.
It's brutal, my ruffian girl
Rough, gruff, na na na nuff, I know it's so severe.
It's brutal, my ruffian girl.
Rough, gruff, na na na nuff, I know
