Verse:
[Fm]Created the false dichotomy,

[Fm]choked out by patriarchy,
[Ab]and told a lie of[F#] genetic prophecy,
[Fm]fk your test to see if we fit the mold,
[Fm]witches will scream until our stories are told.
[Fm]born of western cultural fears,
[Ab]under the boot for [F#]ten thousand years.

Verse:
[Fm] Destroy shame of your anato[Fm]my
decolonize your stolen bod[Fm]y

go ahead girl, [F#]go ahead, get down[Fm]
