lyrics

why don’t you leave your house in makeup?
why don’t you let us see your face?
you know it isn’t artificial
if it puts you back in your place
why don’t you listen to the women
who say their talent’s gone to waste?
you and baryshnikov are talking
about that famous hidden grace

grace, grace and poise
all i ever got from boys
was a love song backwards burning at the stake
always been that way
always been that way

why don’t you use your power wisely?
you know the industry is dead
you’re busy sticking to the classics
you could stick up for us instead
why don’t you wait until we’re looking
before you say you were misled?
a television revolution
the very thought fills me with dread

dread, dread and noise
all i ever got from boys
was a love song backwards burning at the stake
always been that way
always been that way

why don’t you leave your house in makeup?
are you that scared of what they’ll say?
you’ve never really felt rejected
not even for a single day
you should have listened to the women
you should have listened to the girls
but now we’re gonna find a reason
to drag you all around the world

world, world destroyed
all i ever got from boys
was a love song backwards burning at the stake
always been that way
always been that way
always been that way
always been that way
