Fix the World

from Fix the World by Carmen Toth

/

about

A song about living up to the ridiculous, outdated idea of what it means to be a woman, and the way woman tend to compete and backstab each other, further enabling the very toxic patriarchy.

lyrics

How can I get through to you?
When what I’m selling you’re not buying.
You want it all laid out all pretty,
Never mind that we’re all dying.
All I can think is:

How’re we gonna fix the world?
How’re we gonna fix the world?
When we’re busy being silly, shallow little girls?
Oh, how're we gonna fix the world?
How’re we gonna fix the world?

Tell me.

We sit around a semicircle of couches and chairs,
Surrounded by presents no one can really afford.
And we sip on tea, consuming sweets,
And attempting small talk and I’m just tryin’ not to look bored.
All I can think is

How’re we gonna fix the world?
How’re we gonna fix the world?
When we’re busy being silly, shallow little girls?
Oh, how’re we gonna fix the world?
How’re we gonna fix the world?
When we’re busy being silly, shallow little girls?

Won’t you grow a purpose please?
We are our own worst enemies.
We left the men in charge too long.
We’ll never fix the world unless we get strong.
Oh, you gotta let me out. You gotta let me be.
You think that I will fail. But what if I succeed?
You gotta let me out. You gotta let me be.
‘Cause I can’t be what you raised to be. Join me.
