We're The Karens. This is for the boys crying on the couch over our paychecks. Get over it." Toss that ancient history rag, it's not nineteen-twenty Your provider complex is a drag, and we've had plenty Washbasin is empty, all the chains are smashed Go polish your ego before your world gets crashed Used to be a machine for babies and stew But we climbed the ladder, looking down at you We stand on our own feet, we pay our own lease Dry your sad little tears, let it rest in peace Scared of our success? Is your throne under attack? Stop whining, it's twenty-twenty-six, no turning back You wanted a lady, sweet, gentle and small Now you're shaking with my balance sheet and all Suddenly you're useless, your manhood is wrecked Because she makes the calls and commands respect It's so damn tragic, we’re laughing our heads off One smart girl around and your confidence drops We stand on our own feet, we pay our own lease Dry your sad little tears, let it rest in peace Scared of our success? Is your throne under attack? Stop whining, it's twenty-twenty-six, no turning back In real life you freeze when she takes the floor Psychologically threatened, you head for the door Pack up your bags and run to your cave A brain with horsepower is more than you craved Physical proximity of intellect makes you shake A woman with a mind is just too much to take But hold on a second, here comes the best joke As soon as the lights dim and we hang up the cloak Suddenly she has to rule, dominant in the night You want her to command with intellectual might A coward at the office, but you beg for the whip? What a fascinating, hypocritical, insecure trip "Oh, I'm so sorry... did we hurt your feelings? Should we buy a cheaper car so you can feel like a man? Should we burn our degrees for your fragile ego? Honestly... what a tragedy. We stand on our own feet, we pay our own lease Dry your sad little tears, let it rest in peace Scared of our success? Is your throne under attack? Stop whining, it's twenty-twenty-six, no turning back Go pack your things, go cry to your mom Sleepless nights over a salary bomb We were The Karens. Don't forget to weep tonight.
