Why?

You are not allowed to attend school
And will be penalised
If you try to achieve higher education
You must cover your entire body, including your face
Because we
The superior gender
Are going to lose temper at the mere sight of a  woman
You are forbidden to travel without your male warden
Because we want to prevent you escaping
Hence you are not allowed
To use public transport on your own

Why, oh why, oh why
Are you so afraid of us?
You are lost in damnation
Cause you fear education

Why, oh why, oh why
Do you think you can rule over us?
Command, oppress and enslave us
And throw us into darkness

It is strictly forbidden for you
To enter parks, gyms and public baths
You may not visit a doctor or a cemetery
Without a male guardian
You may only leave your parents' or husband's house
In an extreme emergency
You are not allowed to speak aloud or sing in public
Because women should endure their suffering in silence
We don't want to hear your laughter nor see your tears

Why, oh why, oh why
Are you so afraid of us?
You are lost in damnation
Cause you fear education

Why, oh why, oh why
Do you think you can rule over us?
Command, oppress and enslave us
And throw us into darkness

Why, oh why, oh why
Do you think you can rule over us?
Command, oppress and enslave us
And throw us into darkness

Why, oh why, oh why
Are you so afraid of us?
You are lost in damnation
Fuck off and leave us alone now

You are forbidden to look at men
To whom you are not related by blood or marriage
Your only right to exist is to serve us
To submit to us
And to be a birth machine for our countless glorious sons
Who will in turn oppress you
You are nothing but breeding stock to us

Why, why, why, why, why, why?
