Outrunning the Patriarchy

A little bit every day...until

Outrunning the Patriarchy

With disheveled shoes

And a mismatched frock

Tousled hair

And laughing

All the way

Boy crazy girls that started out fast

Had it all

Nursing babies at home

Big ones that tower over us now

Destined to repeat history

I saw your wild child ways

Under this veil

This child you raised

Running rampant around the world

You said one thing

But did another
