Lyrics

It's incredible you know exactly what is best for me
And what I should be doing next although you have just met me
You've had a couple of pints, enjoyed the show by me and my peers
Singing songs that have been crafted over months or even years
Then you know me and you know that you have all the solutions
To the problems you've identified that have been there all along
Self-assured, beer-fuelled ego put to the test, by this womxn on your stage
Giving it her best
With all that you have got to say
Why would I want to talk to anybody else that's here today?
I'm tired, sweating, thirsty and I need a pee
But I've got beer and bad breath in my face mansplaining life to me
Whoa
Every time
Please fuck off
Whoa
Instead I say thanks and smile
Well I like to talk to people, I'm a people person but
I don't have to be grateful when in my face you thrust
Your opinions, definitions, pontifications from your head
Why don't you let me finish or just ask me instead?
And I don't even care which famous friend of yours is best
You might not understand but I am just so not impressed
It's obvious I'm queer and I sing songs about it too
But it's not okay to ask me to discuss this fact with you
With all that you have got to say
Why would I want to talk to anybody else that's here today?
I'm tired, sweating, thirsty and I need a pee
But I've got beer and bad breath in my face mansplaining life to me
Whoa
Every time
Please fuck off
Whoa
Instead I say thanks and smile
You've had a drink or two too much
You think you know it all
You're getting in my face
I'm getting really bored
Whoa
Every time
Please fuck off
Whoa
Every time
Please fuck off
Whoa
Every time
Please fuck off
Whoa
Every time
Please fuck off
