Baba said
I don't want you wearing that headscarf
I don't think you understand
But Baba I find it pretty and aunt Fatemeh wears it every day
And if she was alive today
I know that she would say
Take it off, throw it in the flames
And watch it burn like everything they took away
From us
The freedom to love
The freedom to wear whatever we like
Forced to hide, oh
Killing and beating
Did they think we wouldn't fight?
Jina Amini killed for a piece of fabric on her head
Isn't it mad?
How dare you decide over living and dead
Hear them shout in the streets
"Zan, Zendegi, Azadi!"
If she was alive today I think that she would say
Take it off, throw it in the flames
And watch it burn like everything they took away
From us
The freedom to love
The freedom to wear whatever we like
Forced to hide, oh
Killing and beating
Did they think we wouldn't fight?
