Not Sorry - Going Backwards

Playing at the Bob Colby Presents Second Thursdays at Groundworks in Tucson, August 2023.
Lyrics:
It's a time warp when you distort reality
and your religion dictates my choice over my body
and young women forced to give birth in poverty
Birth the whole new batch to support the rich class and the illusion of liberty.
We think we're getting better,
but we're getting worse.
We think we're moving forward,
but we're going in reverse.
Like my mother before me,
it's a generational curse.
We think we're getting better,
But we're getting worse.
Primordial soup of chaos energy, I am a being of untold age, birthing into existence humankind and exhaling my feminist rage
Swirling ball of fire within the iris of creation, what will you take advantage of first, my compassion or my patience?
I was here long before you and I will be here long after. I am an all-powerful goddess that will fill these heavenly halls with laughter.
While you are so very small, My capacity is endless. While you sit and think and talk about it, I will fucking manifest it.
With words so powerful that I will break the very foundation.
And a voice so loud I'm going to move mountains and subvert nations.
Demanding subservience but there is no actual way to contain me, rip through this culture like a cyclone to destroy the fuckin patriarchy.
Don't play the game, don't follow the rules, and I'm not going to chase validation and if you really wanna know? My soul is outside comprehension and at the mere suggestion I will move beyond your small frame of reality and into the next dimension
We think we're getting better,
but we're getting worse.
We think we're moving forward,
but we're going in reverse.
Like my mother before me,
it's a generational curse.
We think we're getting better,
But we're getting worse.
