Philippine Society

By fritzwraith

Who wants to die for this country,
and pledge some patriotic shit?
Who wants to be perfect, saintly
to be admired by the masses?
Damn this fuckin' Filipino culture!
Tryin' too hard to be like the others
when all to do is gossip, gossip, gossip:

"Be chaste, be obedient, be submissive little ladies."
"You have no right 'cause you're not a man!"
"She's weird, therefore she's a whore..."
"I don't like her 'cause she's strange..."
"Dios ko! 'Yung putang ito ay isang demonya!"
(My God! This bitch is a demon!)
"She's smart in class? I hate her..."
"She has nice stuff, she must have stolen them..."

Just want to be out of here,
away from the crab mentality,
the chatterbox spinsters,
the close-minded assholes,
the sleazy officials,
the restricting society,
the mental scars!
