Women Are Different Lyrics
Women are different from each other
We are different from each other and we’re not the same ourselves
For many women body tissue is a habit
Some women excise their body tissue and call it a mastectomy
Other women call it surgical reassignment
Other women call it designer contouring
Other women can’t afford it
Some women don’t use the word fuck but do it all the time
Other invoke it without hesitation and don’t like to do it or not very often
For some women, fucking is a habit
Some women use food stamps
Some women use wombs
Some women use passports
Many women use what they have as a habit
Women are different from each other
We are different from each other and we are not the same ourselves
To some women nudity is a habit
For others it is vanity
To others it is shaming
To others it is profitable
To others it is full disclosure
To some women an outfit from the men’s section is being finally fully realized
For some women a penis is a habit
For others, it is a target, a phantom, a detour, a risk, an exclusion, a guggenheim photograph, an oral fixation, a distant reminder
For some women, a penis requires a fundraiser
Is attached to their body, is attached to their politics, is a source of disinterest, a source of giddiness, a means of production, a means of forgiveness
For others it is a non thing, ambivalence
For some women, a vagina is a habit
For others, it is a novelty, an educational opportunity, a foreign object in ethics, inexhaustible
For some women a vagina requires a fundraiser
Is attached to their body, attached to their politics, a source of disinterest, a source of pleasure, a means of production, a means of forgiveness
For some women feminism is a habit, a history, an occupation, a preoccupation, necessary, a strategy, seduction, access
For others it is a pain in the ass
For some women being a woman is a habit
For others it is a crisis, a calculation, a safety net, a nuisance, an assumption, a punch line, a desire, an ambition, a merry-go-round, an escape route, a threat
Women are different from each other
We are different from each other and we are not the same ourselves
Women are different from each other
We are different from each other and we are not the same ourselves
