M.:   I think about all the weight I have to lose 
        to fit into the society’s rules. 
        Is it what they expect or not?
        Lately I asked that a lot.
        They say: 
        “Don’t wear that short dress!”,
        “Your skirt is too long!”,
        “Your shirt is too tight!”,
        “You work all night?”,
        “I pay the bills!”,
        “You improve your wifey skills!”,
         She almost starts to cry

Ref.: Men, for what do you fight?
        What do you think what gives you the right
        to tell us what to wear or not,
        ‘cause that doesn’t matter a lot.
        Men, what do you think? 
        Why don’t you ask?
        What women wear is not your task.
        Let us be what we wanne be!
        We’re gonna make it, you will see!

        We choose what we wear!
        We choose what we want!
        We choose what we like!
        We choose what we fight!

M.:   I think about every other girl.
        Is it the same all over the world?
        Do they have equal problems or not?
        Lately I ask that a lot.
        This is a story people often tell,
        self-established and secretly sad.
        That was when self-love was still missing,
        just know you’re not a hoe for kissing!


        Don’t pretend that everything is just fine
        when you are really broken inside.
        You know the other qualities do matter.
        The other girls aren’t better!

Ref.: Men, for what do you fight?
        What do you think what gives you the right
        to tell us what to wear or not,
        ‘cause that doesn’t matter a lot.
        Men, what do you think? 
        Why don’t you ask?
        What women wear is not your task.
        Let us be what we wanne be!
        We’re gonna make it, you will see!

J.:     I know what you girls mean 
        It’s not always like a movie scene
        I don’t know what you have been through
        Even though I thought I would know you
        Sometimes I have similar thoughts 
        Do I look better in jeans or shorts?
        But I get it
        I’m sorry for hurting you,
        But we’re not all the same
        That’s true!

Ref.: Hey, for what do you fight?
        What do you think what gives you the right
        to tell us what to wear or not,
        ‘cause that doesn’t matter a lot.
        Hey, what do you think? 
        Why don’t you ask?
        What people wear is not your task.
        Let us be what we wanne be!
        We’re gonna make it, you will see!

M.:  So just to some of you:
       Control your desire,
       ‘cause guys, we know we’re on fire!
