Now You Know Lyrics - Icon For Hire

Seems like everywhere I go 

Everybody wanna know 

What's it like to be a girl in the music world 

Woah 

You see me sexist believe me I get it 

We'd probably sell more records if I flaunted my ass and chest but forget it 

I work like one of the boys and I'm as true as they get 

But I'm a lady through and through like give me some credit 

I knew I'd regret it 

If I tried to blend and pretend be something other than I am 

Like have you noticed I'm a woman 

Didn't come to downplay it or to play it up either 

And I'm not tryna pick a fight or be nobody's leader 

But it feels like everybody's just a little too interested 

In the fact that females can indeed make music 

Our interviews our bios they only get a point 

Female fronted band from Decatur Illinois 

And just once I'd like to see some other bands resonate 

Go out of the way to say they're fronted by a male okay 

And while we're on it let me say 

Women don't all sound the same 

Who gave us the idea that female fronted was a genre anyways? 

Seems like everywhere I go 

Everybody wanna know 

What's it like to be a girl in the music world 

Woah 

Wanna make it disappear 

Tell em what they wanna hear 

If the truth ain't pretty will you all stay with me 

Will you love me, love me, ugly 

And I know it's not fair and I can't complain 

Cause with a girl in our band people don't look away 

But you know what it feels like they look just a little too long 

Stare me up and down forget to listen to the song 

I take the stage and before I even open my mouth 

The audience assumes that they got us all figured out 

Oh your bands got a chick 

Must be some kind of trick 

There's no way she got this far without suckin somebody's- 

Did you really think that's how it works 

I'm not fucking eye candy 

I'm here to do my job I'll be the last man standing 

Boys in the crowd asking for me to flash em 

Well here you go newsflash you're ignorant and that's that 

I bet you'd never say that to your little sister 

The medias got you all jacked up little mister 

Cause girls in my position can perpetuate the cycle 

Walking on a tight rope don't know which way to go 

Hyper sexualize or downplay your femininity 

Dress like the dudes or pray to God that you're pretty 

Are you kidding me? I don't even know who's to blame 

Beauty sells I'll buy it too I'll try and sell it back to you 

Seems like everywhere I go 

Everybody wanna know 

What's it like to be a girl in the music world 

Woah 

Wanna make it disappear 

Tell em what they wanna hear 

If the truth ain't pretty will you all stay with me 

Will you love me, love me, ugly 

So tell me what's a woman to do, no 

Scratch that, tell me what's a human being to do with the fact that 

What gets us ahead holds us back more 

Is a level playing field too much to ask for? 

And I know that by sayin it 

I'm bringing attention to an issue that might be better left unmentioned 

But someone's gotta say it gotta call up the scene 

The scene is obscene, my sanity is split at the seams 

So that all of y'all making this just about ass and tits 

We're here to set the record straight it don't gotta be this way 

We can change the game rearrange the way to fame 

Make a bigger deal about the talent than the face 

See I got little girls watchin me wanting to be like me 

I wanna show em they don't gotta be like me 

They can do their own thing 

They can rewrite the rules 

They can get respect without acting like fools 

So let's not make it harder than it has to be 

I'll keep making music you stop asking me 

What's it like to be a girl in the entertainment world 

Cause now you know 

Seems like everywhere I go 

Everybody wanna know 

What's it like to be a girl in the music world 

Woah 

Wanna make it disappear 

Tell em what they wanna hear 

If the truth ain't pretty will you all stay with me 

Will you love me, love me, ugly 

Seems like everywhere I go 

Everybody wanna know 

What's it like to be a girl in the music world 

Woah 

Wanna make it disappear 

Tell em what they wanna hear 

If the truth ain't pretty will you all stay with me 

Will you love me, love me, ugly
