Elephant

from Endless Bummer by Smokeshow

/

lyrics

What if we grew an alien
For us to keep
What would you want to name it
Where would it sleep
It's fun to dream, but
What if I'm just not ready yet
Or never am
Would you still love me anyways
Still hold my hand
Even if you don't understand

Let's talk about the elephant
Do you think I'm irrelevant

Marching through the motions in a daze
Accusations have been made that we are crazy baby
Look around the kids are not okay
Someone's gotta say it so love me or hate me

I am more important than an unborn baby
I am more important than my unborn babies
Go on tell me that I'm not
That's what I thought

What do you think they want from us
What on earth
What kind of logic could we use
To not end up giving birth
To not needlessly get ourselves hurt
What if we became celibate
One by one
Or we could all be lesbians
That sounds fun
I think I might like that one

Back to that god damn elephant
They think that we're irrelevant

How'd I get to thinking we were done
I let myself believe the conversation was over
Now I know the battle's never won
Gotta watch your back or they will
Bend you over, fuck you, then call you an irresponsible murderer

But you are more important than your unborn baby
Don't let them tell you that you're not
We are more important than our unborn babies
Go on tell us that we're not
We are more important than our unborn babies
Go on tell us that we're not
Tell us that we're not
Tell us that we're not

Irrelevant
To a room full of men
Deciding when
We stop mattering
In our own skin
Cursed again
To bear rotten fruit
For a partnered sin
