On Sunday she will loudly pray

Oh, they want you to crawl, fuck them all

They can’t get you down

When you’re off the ground

So tell them what you wanna say

When you’ve had enough

You should rise above

Feel that she’s real
C
Though the fake will seal the deal
G                      D
Make room for her
Em
Or she’ll leave every meal
C
Till she’s skinny as a needle
G            D
Root for her
