We Are Not A Joke - Alt

(Verse 1) Don’t tell me to sit pretty, don’t tell me to smile We’ve been burning through the bullshit for a while You think you’ve got the power, think you’ve got control But we’re the storm that’s breaking, tearing through your mold (Pre-Chorus) We’re tired of your laughter, tired of your games This fire in our voices won’t ever be tamed (Chorus) We are not a joke, we’re a reckoning scream We are not your puppet, not your American dream We are not your silence, we are not your shame We are not a joke, and we’re done playing your game (Verse 2) Don’t call us hysterical, don’t call us obscene We’re painting revolution in punk rock and gasoline Our sisters are rising, our fists in the air We’re the cracks in your system, we’re everywhere (Pre-Chorus) We’re done with your whispers, done with your lies This chorus of fury will light up the skies (Chorus) We are not a joke, we’re a reckoning scream We are not your puppet, not your American dream We are not your silence, we are not your shame We are not a joke, and we’re done playing your game (Bridge) We’ve got steel in our hearts, and fire in our veins We’re not your apology, not your ball and chain We’re breaking down the walls you built to hold us in This is our resistance, let the riot begin (Chorus) We are not a joke, we’re a reckoning scream We are not your puppet, not your American dream We are not your silence, we are not your shame We are not a joke, and we’re done playing your game (Outro) So laugh if you want, but we’re taking the mic We’re the voice of the future, and we’re ready to fight We are not a joke, we are thunder and flame We are riot girls, and you’ll remember our name
