"Sister" by Tracey Thorn

For International Women's Day, here is Tracey Thorn's new anthem/protest song "Sister" from her new release "Record."

Don't mess with me
Don't hurt my babies
I'll come for you
You'll find you've bitten off more than you can chew

You are the man
But I'm not your baby
I get so scared
I know you own the world
And I fight like a girl

But I am my mother
I am my mother now
I am my sister
And I fight like a girl

All I can do is all I'm doing
All I can stand
You trample like dirt
But I'm used to things that hurt

Oh, little man,
You're such a baby
Put up your fists
Nobody ever loved
Someone they were afraid of

I am my mother
I am my mother now
I am my sister
And I fight like a girl

Oh, what year is it?
Still arguing the same sh*t
What year is it?
Same same old sh*t

I get so scared
Tell me you'll stand beside me
Is that enough?
No nothing is enough
Nobody is that tough

And I miss my mother
I miss my mother now
Thank god for my sister
And for all the girls

And I am my mother
I am my mother now
I am my sister
And I live like a girl
And I love like a girl
And I think like a girl
And I fight like a girl,
Like a girl
