[Verse 1: Kimbra]

My hands are tied, but my eyes are open

This modern denial has me broken

Nothing mystical, no hullabaloo

Just chemicals and no one looking down on you


[Pre-Hook: Kimbra]

What am I thinking?

Ooh, if you're so sure it's rational

Well, the world's shrinking

But that don't make it logical

What am I thinking?

If you say I'm just an animal

I feel like I'm sinking

You can't explain away the way I feel

[Hook: Kimbra & Mark Foster]

You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down

They tell you, "Trust your head, be like men," but never feel like you're good enough

You're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down

They wanna take our light, make us fight, and then cry for the ones you love


[Post-Hook]

Cry for the ones you love

I'll be your warrior, your warrior (Cry for the ones you love)

I'll be your warrior, your warrior (Warrior)


[Verse 2: Kimbra]

You're taking over and I'm feeling small

When I was a child I knew it all

Nothing magical, no hologram behind the door

Just a chain reaction, but I know I'm made for more


[Pre-Hook: Kimbra]

What am I thinking?

Ooh, if you're so sure it's rational

Well, the world's shrinking

But that don't make it logical

What am I thinking?

If you say I'm just an animal

I feel like I'm sinking

You can't explain away the way I feel

[Hook: Kimbra & Mark Foster]

You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down

They tell you, "Trust your head, be like men," but never feel like you're good enough

You're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down

They wanna take our light, make us fight, and then cry for the ones you love

And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down

You wanna change the world, but your girls will be seen and not be heard

You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down

They wanna take our light, make us fight, and never cry for the ones you love


[Breakdown]

[Hook: Kimbra & Mark Foster]

You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down

They tell you, "Trust your head, be like men," but never feel like you're good enough

You're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down

They wanna take our light, make us fight, and then cry for the ones you love

And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down

You wanna change the world, but your girls will be seen and not be heard

You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down

They wanna take our light, make us fight, and never cry for the ones you love
