IF YOU ARE A FEMINIST IN A DIVORCE: YOU ARE THE ENEMY

Rock, smooth, fun, unique, emotional, groovy, woman’s ecoustics, drum and bass

You work hard 
Making minimum wage 
Just to make ends meet. 
On top of everything else that you Are doing 
To make it look like everything
Is ok.

Because divorce is like a world War. 
Only, you have to send 
Your most precious possessions 
Over to the enemy who destroys You
For a few days at a time. 
And when they come back, 
They are different than 
When they left.

That same man who has 
You followed by his friends, 
Or by his extended family, 
And even by strangers.

That same man who parks
Near your house
Late at night 
To watch you through your open Window,
To see what you are doing, 
When the kids are all away…

The same man who gets
Strangers involved because
They get a kick out of gossip, 
And those same spies keep reporting 
Your most intimate details 
Back to your enemy.

You don’t know who you can trust
Anymore. 
Every face could be a spy, 
Or they could be an ally
With your enemy.

Secretly lying in wait 
To destroy you, 
And all that you know 
And love.

The same evil humans 
Who tell your kids that 
You are the true enemy, 
A wolf in sheep’s clothing.

She doesn’t really love you. 
What you see isn’t really what it Is. 
She is a self-centred monster, 
And she only wants to use you 
To get gain from me.

She doesn’t mean it when 
She tells you that she loves you, 
Or when she kisses you goodnight. 
It’s all a joke. 
A show. 
A play. 
A lie. 
A farce.
It’s all to get back at me.

See those nice clothes, 
And the new shoes that she Bought you: 
It was to make HER look good to Others.
See that roof that she put over Your head, 
She did that to make ME look Bad.

Don’t look at my new car, 
My vacations, or skiing trips. 
Only look at our bare shelves 
In our cupboards: 
That’s because she stole from Me.

We have nothing because of HER.

You don’t have to tell people
When I hurt you: 
Its none of their business.

Don’t you want to protect me?

Don’t you love me and want to Keep me safe?

I am changing and trying: 
She is only trying to take you From me. 
It will never happen again… 
Until it does. 
Honest.

Look at all these presents:
It’s because I love you. 
Look at all my sacrifices, 
Things are different now,
And now let’s have fun!

You don’t need to remember 
What happened before.

Remember, how sad I was 
When I didn’t see you 
That last time?

Remember how scary that was 
For you 
And for 
Me
When you were taken from me?

It was all her fault. 
It didn’t have to be that way. 
She is a monster: 
She wasn’t trying to protect you. 
Look at how funny
And nice
I am today,

I wasn’t really like that.

It wasn’t all that bad.

She put thoughts in your head, 
And twisted my words.

It’s her fault that the police held Me in prison. 
She put me there. 
She had YOU 
Put me there.

It’s not my fault, 
It’s your fault—I mean 
It’s all HER fault.

Go and erase her evidence Against me, 
She only wants to take you Away.
I’m a changed man now.
I am getting help now, see? 
YOU HAVE TO SAVE ME.

Your mom used to be a good Mother, 
See the home videos 
We looked like we were in love. 
See how nice I am? 
I’m still that same guy, see?

It is her who has changed: 
She is different now. 
She is no longer safe. 
She is a bad mother.

You can’t tell at first, 
But if you look more closely, 
It is there. 
See?

Look at how grumpy she gets, 
When you don’t clean up
It’s because she doesn’t want You.
Look at how tired she is, 
She is spending all her time 
At school 
And work 
Because she doesn’t want to be With you.

She only lies to you 
When she says that 
She is trying to provide
A better future for you.

She never wanted to be your Mother. 
She is a work-a-holic
A driven feminist—who only Cares
About MONEY, MONEY, MONEY 
And nobody
But herself.

Look at all the new stuff that she Has given you: 
She bought it all with my Money.
Look at how badly you have it
