I believe misogyny and patriarchy are closet homo lovers
And they screw over their sisters cause they're scared to screw each other.
I believe harriet tubman should be on the dollar bill
We've had our fill of white boy faces
Time to change places.
I believe hilary, not bill, should have worn the crown
They could have learned from jack and jill
Which one would break it and fall down.
I believe there are too many lonely lesbians looking for a lover
And if some would lift their cool masks maybe they would find each other.
I believe people and products both need less packaging
Cause bullshit is still bullshit when you pull off all the wrapping.
I believe people are see-through
If you hold em up to the light
I believe people are enlightening
If you plug em in right.
I believe our system is a love affair between the up and upper classes
Cause it's easy to get screwed when you're just raping all the masses
I believe diet coke is liquid steel
I believe too many women
Drink their meal.
I believe in survival of the fittest--
If you're ranking members of a gym
But if you're talking about the human club, you gotta let everybody in.
I believe you should learn more than one language
You should learn to talk in tongues and lips
I believe in nipples and skin and toes and hips.
I believe in noise from teeth and throats
And cunts
The noise of poetry, music, laughter, after screaming cunnilingus.
I believe women are sexy
Without makeup or clothes
I believe women are sexy
When they're reciting prose
I don't believe in horoscopes,
Fortune, fate, luck, or chance
I believe sometimes shit works out
Just cause of circumstance.
So I believe if you call the wrong number
You should talk for a while
You might like em more than
Who you meant to dial.
I believe small talk is for small people
Who have nothing much to say
If you really think it's so nice out,
Shut up and go enjoy the fucking day
I believe wall street invented
The criminal mentality
The easter bunny laid
Mandatory heterosexuality
I believe mutual masturbation makes a lot of sense
I don't believe in a white picket fence
I believe in picking fights and picketing riot dykes
I believe in loving in groups,
I believe in loving alone.
I believe in hardship, in travelling
Through hard shit
Then I believe in coming home.
I believe some wives find their husbands boring
And they picture women naked
While those boys are snoring
I believe men need to revolutionize
Themselves or they'll see
All those wives kissing jill sobule and me.
I believe there are more buttons
And more clever bumper stickers every day
And less and less sticking
To what they have to say
More recycling of garbage,
More recycling of cash
It all ends up in the same bin --
With all the white corporate trash.
I believe there are too many babies
And too many weddings and too many headings
That started with Monica
I believe post-gay is presumptious
Just plain gay functions.
I don't believe in ex-gay
I believe trent lott should be b.b. gun-shot
Ex-punged from this term before
The thousand years he's got left
I believe barbie should be used in anatomy class
As a perfect bag of bones
Then taken to biogenetics
As an argument against clones.
I believe cell phone culture is ridiculous
Imprisoning us in the cell of a social fetish
I believe baby dolls should have realistic clits.
So baby dykes can start getting used to it.
And I believed the guy I waited on today
Who said i'm one hundred percent nice
I don't bite
I said I believe you sir and i'll take the beer
Can you believe i'm one hundred percent queer
And I talk it and I teach it
And I poet and I preach it
And I hold it and I mold it
And I know it so I give it.
Cause I'm sure that I believe
I'm still learning how to live it.
