Possession by The Holy Mountain Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2008

Our bodies, our currency
How can this be what we want?
It only amounts to slavery
To daily wallow in degradation
A mockery of equality
Our daughters tortured
Our sisters raped
At best expect to stay in their place
These are the cultures at whose
Feet men lay praise
There is no ownership
Implicit in gender
At the hands of beasts in Nanking
At the hands of beasts in Bosnia
At the hands of beasts in America
Tortured
A woman's body exploited as
Throughout history
Treated as lower than an animal
As the vessel to maintain a man's pride
The shame of a species
The masculine legacy
Total bullshit
F*ck your violence
F*ck your disrespect
