Amy Ray - Blender Lyrics
In a sea of white facesI heard the latest version of The Clash.Still no ticket for the races,And the sisters still get the shaft.We got a punk rock problemI'm tired of playing shirts and skins here.How do we sing against the systemWhen we're a main offender?Put it in a blender and let me get the hangOf how it fits togetherAnd how we came to be.I'm a childOf the M to M Program.Bus em out to the suburbs,But we never got to know em.I had a sex educationWithout a word for my genderAll these half-hearted tries-Put em in a blender.Let me get the hang ofHow we can fit togetherAnd still keep our identity.Now the kids are hip hip hopping,And everybody's co-opting.The straight girls are slumming itAt The Suicide Queers' gig.Yeah, we're all assimilatin',But we're still segregated.And its all for the market man,He says ”Put em in a blender andSee where the money lands.”Put em in a blender and let them get the hangOf thinking that they've been hereAnd thinking things are gonna change.
