Isolation Or Solution Letra

In a system based on inequality where do you draw the line Between fighting to stop oppression and perpetuating the same crime When you start to define anyone simply based upon their gender They you're guilty of the crime and wan equally wrong offender It makes life easy to force people into simple categories You're a man, you're a woman isn't that the same old story And as a man society has mapped out exactly what you must do Just as society has told all women what their roles are too Too many times we think fighting sexism means creating a battlefield With men on one side and women on the other and both sides ready to kill But striving to find creative solutions to a problem that exists Doesn't have to mean that it's her side against his Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem? Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem? Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem? Isolation or solution to the problem A person's ability to fight sexism shouldn't be based on gender Just because someone is a man doesn't mean he's a sexist oppressor Or that he's blind to the problems that create gender inequality And that he's blind to the problems that create gender inequality And that he's not willing to do his part to help change society Just as some women don't know exactly how to take a stand against gender roles Simply because they're a woman doesn't mean they have all the knowledge and the tools To break down the barriers of oppression and inequality that exists Because it's the barriers between women and men that allows sexism to persist Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem? Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem? Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem? Isolation or solution to the problem If you don't strive to stop oppression then you're part of the problem Whether you're a man or a woman it'll take us all to fucking stop them Men and women both suffer under he heavy hand of oppression Both living gender roles that only lead to this suppression Of our natural ability to communicate and live equally with each other As a friend or a lover, as a sister or a brother If our only goal in fighting sexism is to try and place blame Then unfortunately we're all guilty of playing the same games But if in unity women and men come together and take a stand Then with our united goal we could bring sexism to an end Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem? Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem? Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem? Isolation or solution to the problem
