about

This track is written as a criticism of everyday sexism and cultures that perpetuate violence and discrimination against women/LGBTQI+ people. The line "i'm not laughing with you" is in reference to not condoning or idly ignoring the poor behavior of others and taking an active stance against outdated and problematic attitudes.

lyrics

She wraps her hands across her chest so that they might leave her alone
She walks quietly with her head down and pretends to be on her phone
"It's just a joke, it's a compliment, it's just because they like her"
They're full of shit, it's primitive, it's just to stay on top

It's about time that we end this shit
That we stop putting up with it
I'm not laughing with you
I'm not laughing with you

And if a bloke says something back he's a f*****, he's too soft
Nothing could be stronger than victimising a woman,
Well fuck that off, i'll cop that tag, i'll not sit down, I'll not shut up

It's about time that we end this shit
That we stop putting up with it
I'm not laughing with you
I'm not laughing with you
