No capo
verse 1
G D
Over being told to be undressed to look our best
G D
Everywhere my eyes go, our figure is less, voice suppressed
Am
But look how very far we have come
C
Cast a vote, wear pants, and clamp on a gun
G
No, it's not your way, not your way
D
Not going to obey, to obey
Am
This is my party, party
C
And you don't have a say, have a say
G
This is my own life, own life
D
Not growing up to be a trophy wife
Am
So don't parade us 'round, 'round we go
C
In your twisted world and I'm saying no
G D
No no
Am
No, it's not your way, not your way
C
No no no no, no no no
verse 2
G D
Lower and lower our standards go as your money grows
G D
Fill us up with plastic and cut us up and tie a bow
Am
But look how very far we have come
C
Strip us of our width, disguise it like we have won
G
No, it's not your way, not your way
D
Not going to obey, to obey
Am
This is my party, party
C
And you don't have a say, have a say
G
This is my own life, own life
D
Not growing up to be a trophy wife
Am
So don't parade us 'round, 'round we go
C
In your twisted world and I'm saying no
G D
No no
Am
No, it's not your way, not your way
C
No no no no, no no no
G
Are we making ourselves clear?
D
We're all the same under here
G
This is my disposition
D
Apologies for breaking your traditions
Am G
It takes two to tango
D
And we're saying...(two, three!)
G
No, it's not your way, not your way
D
Not going to obey, to obey
Am
This is my party, party
C
And you don't have a say, have a say
G
This is my own life, own life
D
Not growing up to be a trophy wife
Am
So don't parade us 'round, 'round we go
C
In your twisted world and I'm saying no
G D
No no
Am
No, it's not your way, not your way
C
No no no no, no no no
