SEVDALIZA - Woman Life Freedom

Woman Life Freedom

I was told to stay quiet
In a world full of noise
I was told to walk silent
In a war of wicked marches
In this world
I remain lost for answers


I was told to hold violence
When the world kills with greed
I was put on a diet
'Cause a woman shouldn't be
I was taught compliance
In the name of the sword
That stabbed every dream I could be


[Chorus:]
Free for a day
Free, free for a day
Free, free for a day
Free, not today


Not today, I am silent
I pick my battles and my peace
I look to God for guidance
Not the name but frequencies
We live, we die
We play the game
Dog eat dog
Who's gonna stay sanе all the way?


[Chorus:]
Free for a day
Free, free for a day
Free, free for a day
Free, not today


[Interlude: Marjane Satrapi]
What they say to me is that thеy, they don't want a system anymore
They want democracy
I mean, they don't believe in the reform and they're right
Iran's government is a dictatorship
If a dictatorship opens for reform, for being transformed
It stops being a dictatorship
Reform and dictatorship doesn't go together
So, this is something not possible
You cannot make this government to become a democratic government
Because it is not, in its space is a dictatorship


Like the moon, she go through phases
Of emptiness to full
You don't have to hold on to the pain
To hold on the fuel
How can I not be biased when
One and one was made two?
The world revolves around itself and so do you, around you
I guess you got it figured out for the time and place
Age and state
Except your need to bleed in the palms of rage
This is just another glitch
One day, one day you will understand how to be a real man
In the womb of a woman


[Outro: Marjane Satrapi]
First of all, they claim not to be sexist at all
They say, I mean, the big slogan “Woman, life, freedom”
And the human right is a human right
In any society, Iran or anywhere else in the world
If the women are repressed, if half of the population
That they're actually worth
Half of the other half just because of the gender
We cannot talk about democracy.
