lyrics

Carter Scratch

Shut up, behave, do what you’re told
Keep yourself pretty, don’t grow old
Do all the work then be ignored, woman

From the silver screen to the centrefold
If you show a lot of flesh you’ll be adored
Whether choice or coercion
It makes my blood run cold

CHORUS
So break out, break out, break out of yourself
Reach for heaven, kick up hell
Don’t tell me a man will never be matched
Was a woman’s work, the Carter Scratch


I am Rosa Parks, I am Lady Trieu
I am a hidden figure from a history book
I am a silenced sister trying to get to school
But a gun is in my face, what you gonna do?

CHORUS
So break out, break out, break out of yourself
Reach for heaven, kick up hell
Don’t tell me a man will never be matched
Was a woman’s work, the Carter Scratch

Middle
As the glorify the boy, put him on a pedestal
I’ve watched with hungry fire
And my time is coming soon

JAMEELA SPEECH

CHORUS
So break out, break out, break out of yourself
Reach for heaven, kick up hell
Don’t tell me a man will never be matched
Was a woman’s work, the Carter Scratch
