這是一首和主唱外表一樣嗆辣又特立獨行的歌,又嗆又帶勁

其實內容是女主唱在抱怨她的身分被過度放大檢視了XDDD

簡單的說,就是"姐我就是玩前衛金屬但是你們別把我當珍稀動物觀賞行不?"

The scene is so 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

Our interviews, our bios, - they all make it a point

我們的訪談,我們的缺點都被放大檢視

"Female Fronted Band, from Decatur, Illinois"

"女性前衛金屬團,來自伊利諾州的狄卡特"

And just once, I’d like to see some other band’s resume go out of their way to say they’re fronted by a male, ok?

拜託喔,我也想看看哪個樂團的簡歷主打"男主唱前衛金屬"的好嗎

And while we’re on it, let me say

I take the stage and before I even open my mouth, the audience assumes that they got us all figured out

我剛站上舞台還沒開嗓,觀眾就開始假設他們無所不知

"Oh your band’s got a chick, must be some kinda trick,

"噢這樂團有個正妹,一定是用了什麼手段

there’s no way she got this far without sucking somebody's"

她如果沒有陪誰睡過怎麼可能有人要捧她"

你們真的以為是這樣運作的嗎?我看起來她媽的秀色可餐嗎?
