It's okay as a song but it really bugs me that she doesn't seem to even bother to try to sing at a higher pitch. If you're a professional musician who take pride in your craft, you should put some effort into it. This just sounds like a man singing. Then again, punk has always disrespected virtuosity.
@amanda1020 so you logged in on songmeanings.com just to be transphobic. idk why you thought it was ok to tell a musician with a 20+years career how she should sound. there is no one way for a woman to sound, even cis women have deep voices, so your comment is totally uncalled for. also wtf does it have to do with virtuosity.

@amanda1020 Buddy, I know it's been a year now, but fuck I hope you've grown away from this train of thought. Her singing in a higher tone specifically to pass for your sake is ridiculous. Idk if your trans or nonbinary yourself, given the comment, I hope not -- because if so, that's some internalized transphobia right there; but this just ain't it.

@amanda1020 I am indeed trans and do have internalised transphobia to a considerable degree. However, that isn't all that's going on. It's also about punk. I've seen a lot of almost deliberate flakiness in political activism and community projects which I believe stems from a lack of respect for virtuosity and skill which basically means the establishment can walk all over alternative society with no effective opposition. This is why I'm so angry with punk as a genre. It's led to an organised establishment being effectively unopposed by anything progressive.

I do not enjoy having the voice of a potential rapist and it's nothing to celebrate.
