Lyrics:
Less Than
V to the side. Pointed to the
Left.
V to the side pointed to the left.
You want me:
getting average grades,
and minimum wage,
sleeping in the base-
ment,
broken leg,
in a weakened state,
home sick on a week day,
Munchausen by proxy.
You want me:
20 years from now,
no one else around,
singing your backgrounds,
used as food,
do what I’m supposed to do
(according to your mood),
like you but not as good.
You want me less than. Less than.
Ooooooh…less than. Less than.
You want me less than, want me less than.
Oh, no. Ooh.
You want me less than, but I just can’t.
No no. Ooh.
You want me less than, but I’m more than,
you know? Ooh.
Sometimes less than becomes more than
you know. Ooh.
I am stronger than you now.
The next time you raise a hand to me…
it’s gone.
You want me:
on the bottom rung,
all my powers gone,
not Kristeen eL. Young,
mind beat down:
feeble and half numb,
stumbling, bumbling drunk.
maybe then I’m fun?
You want me
and my sexuality:
under your authority,
with babies or old and deplete,
Slowly and serially killed:
Holding me down ’til I’m chilled,
Cutting parts off me until
I’m the fill in the landfill.
You want me less than. Less than.
Ooooooh…less than. Less than.
You want me less than, want me less than.
Oh, no. Ooh.
You want me less than, but I just can’t.
No no. Ooh.
You want me less than, but I’m more than,
you know? Ooh.
Sometimes less than becomes more than
you know. Ooh.
I am stronger than you now.
The next time you raise a hand to me…
it’s gone.
V to the side. Pointed to the
Left.
V to the side pointed to the left.
You want me less than, want me less than.
Oh, no. Ooh.
You want me less than, but I just can’t.
No no. Ooh.
You want me less than, but I’m more than,
you know? Ooh.
Sometimes less than becomes more than
you know. Ooh.
You want me less than, want me less than.
Oh, no. Ooh.
You want me less than, but I just can’t.
No no. Ooh.
You want me less than, but I’m more than,
you know? Ooh.
Sometimes less than becomes more than
you know. Ooh.
