lyrics

Girls know how to mute themselves
Boys are always running wild
These were the lessons I was taught
When I was a young child
They can take what they want
We were taught to sit and wait
Hope that someone notices
Thinks you’re not a big mistake

I was not a fragile flower
Waiting for the sun to shine
But I'd not found the voice
To let them know what was on my mind

The jungle law applies
And you’re traded by your size
(Funky Quebec City huh!)

Careful what you wish for
Mama always told me
Hook a fish too big for you
You might end up in the sea too
Take only what you can get
Be grateful for the chance to rise
What did she tell my brothers?
They seemed so large in her eyes

They don’t see me like yesterday
They know only how to get away
I’m the one with all the marbles
Left them sitting there like fools
I said Heyyy Hey
I said Heyyy Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey hey hey hey

I was not a fragile flower
Waiting for the sun to shine
I took that ride on out of town
I let them know what was on my mind
(Funky Quebec City, Funky Quebec City)

The jungle law applies (I was not a fragile flower, I was not a fragile flower)
And you’re traded by your size (waiting for the sun to shine, waiting for the sun to shine)
Those bastards were full of lies

(Funky old Quebec, Q-City is your best bet
Watch it, you'll break your neck
Break your neck for old Quebec
Break your neck for old Quebec
Break your neck
Break it
For old Quebec)
