about

"Female Hysteria" is a punk rock anthem about the ridiculousness of how women are treated in society. Inspired by the literal condition 'female hysteria' in the 1800's - used to explain away any deviation from a "woman's role" - and the by the ongoing experience of today where women are having their rights stripped away.

"We wanted to write something captivating in the wake of the devolving abortion laws in America, that also encompasses how women and girls are treated in their daily lives across the world. Women should be treated as equals no matter what"- Bexley

lyrics

I woke up feeling violent, I’m told I shouldn’t speak
I was born a woman so I must be fucking weak
We’re speaking out of line, and begging you to listen
Emotionally spiraling in our gender based condition
So lock her in a prison, she must have lost her mind
Or leave her to her own device and maybe she’ll unwind
Obsession with my body, oppression of my mind
My choices are my own and you can’t making me fucking quiet!

It’s female hysteria!
It’s female hysteria!
It’s female hysteria!

Us ladies have it hard, with all these silent rules
Be careful what you wear to not distract the boys at school
Cover up my shoulders, skirt down to my knees
And god forbid a nipple shows, what if someone sees?
Anxiety has reached, an all time peak
Fingers start to tremble and my knees are feeling weak
She’s a whore! Nothing more, come on honey gimme more
She’s a witch! What a bitch, well I don’t give a shit!

It’s female hysteria!
It’s female hysteria!
It’s female hysteria!

Female Hysteria!

I woke up feeling violent, my rights are stripped away
I was born a woman and refuse to feel shame
So keep your laws to yourself, and leave your god for the judgement
I do what I want and you don’t have to fucking like it.

It’s female hysteria!
It’s female hysteria!
It’s female hysteria!

Female Hysteria!
