Linger, Still Songtext
von Michael Webster
Linger, Still Songtext
Well, you could put the blame on Virginia Woolf
Or you could blame Bikini Kill
You could put it to the woman vote
But all of your prejudices linger, still
I were holding my tongue
All of each of every day
The problem that has no name
Never seems to go away
You could blame it on the suffragettes
Or you could blame Bratmobile
You could quote the Oedipus Complex
Another weapon on the gender battlefield
I were holding my tongue
All of each of every day
The problem that has no name
Never seems to go away
And as the blame game goes round in a circular direction
I′ve come to think that the answer's less important than the question
Well, you could put the blame on Margaret Atwood
Sleater-Kinney or Betty Friedan
Or you could put it to those mighty Pankhursts
Emmaline, Christabel and Sylvia
I were clenching my fists
All of each of every minute
The only reason this problem exists
Is on the ones who perpetuate it
Or you could blame Bikini Kill
You could put it to the woman vote
But all of your prejudices linger, still
I were holding my tongue
All of each of every day
The problem that has no name
Never seems to go away
You could blame it on the suffragettes
Or you could blame Bratmobile
You could quote the Oedipus Complex
Another weapon on the gender battlefield
I were holding my tongue
All of each of every day
The problem that has no name
Never seems to go away
And as the blame game goes round in a circular direction
I′ve come to think that the answer's less important than the question
Well, you could put the blame on Margaret Atwood
Sleater-Kinney or Betty Friedan
Or you could put it to those mighty Pankhursts
Emmaline, Christabel and Sylvia
I were clenching my fists
All of each of every minute
The only reason this problem exists
Is on the ones who perpetuate it
