Sit Down to Piss
This world's full of challengesSome are big and some are smallWar, greed, pollutionMight take some time to solve 'em allBut if a long march starts with just one stepThere's one I'd like to mentionIf you live with your nostrils openPerhaps it's come to your attentionYou may be fighting for freedomAll the night and dayBut when you come back homeSomeone's bound to say"You wanna change the world, manBelieve me, I do, tooBut in the meantime it is requiredThat we live in a fucking zoo"'Cause the revolution starts at homeLet me tell you thisStand up for your rights, boysBut sit down to pissIf you've ever lived with other peopleYou may know what I meanWho's gonna wash the dishesLetras de cancionesAnd get the bathtub cleanAs we scrub the tear gas from our eyesThe issue may seem so littleBut what might make or break the movementIs exactly how you piddle'Cause the revolution starts at homeLet me tell you thisStand up for your rights, boysBut sit down to pissIf you just love to clean the toiletI say that is really neatBut you could still save yourself some effortBy pulling up a seatHowever if you claim your aim is trueAnd you don't have to sitAll I've got to say, sonIs you are full of shit'Cause the revolution starts at homeLet me tell you thisStand up for your rights, boysBut sit down to pissYes if you really like to clean the looThat's all well and goodBut if you're like most guysYou don't do it like you shouldSo just make this tiny moveTowards gender equityTry it for a couple monthsAnd I'm sure you'll agree'Cause the revolution starts at homeLet me tell you thisStand up for your rights, boysBut sit down to pissWell I don't want to cramp your styleOr keep you from doing your thingIn your own apartmentYou can surely be the kingBut if you're indoors, sharing spaceI hope by now you seeThat the respectful thing to doIs to sit down when you pee'Cause the revolution starts at homeLet me tell you thisStand up for your rights, boysBut sit down to piss From Letras Mania
