Michael Webster - Linger, still

Copied!edit Lyrics

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 Oedepius Complex
Another weapon on the gender battlefield

I were holding my tongue
All of each of еvery day
The problem that has no namе
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
