Day and Age

(These lyrics are subject to change with every performance but here are the words for this recording x)
In this day and age you’re expected to be the perfect kind of woman
You better have a job, do the messages, have a husband/a wife, four kids, a house and a picket fence (ha ha ha)
In this day and age you’re expected to be the perfect kind of woman
And you’d better do it better than anybody else can
Keep your hands off my sister (keep your hands off), if you’d be so kind, mister
Keep your hands off my sister, you’re so kind
In this day and age you’re expected to be the perfect kind of woman
You better shave your legs, wear makeup, have the right figure, lots of brains and the perfect life (ha ha ha)
In this day and age you’re expected to be the perfect kind of woman
Then you’d better do it better than everybody else can
Keep your hands off my sister (keep your hands off), if you’d be so kind, mister
Keep your hands off my sister, you’re so kind
Oh, I’m sorry if I’ve been a bit down lately
I know it’s just the overwhelming amount of social oppressors that are crushing me every day, you know
But, ah, you know, it’s probably my own fault for just being a wee silly woman
But I can’t help just getting a wee bit angry about it
It just makes me, uh
It just makes me feel ah, ah, ah, AHHHHHHH!
Keep your hands off my sister (keep your hands off), if you’d be so kind, mister
Keep your hands off my sister, you’re so kind

Mediocre Man
02:36

I'm not that bad
But I'm not so great
Still I get the credit while she never catches a break
I never hurt anyone
But I'm not quick to help
Easier to be ignorant
Look out for myself
I just wanna be a mediocre man
I want an average job
I want an average life
I want an average house
With an exceptional wife
Slack off, you can call it my aesthetic
Jack off when I'm feeling pathetic
UNHhhh
I just wanna be a mediocre man
I wanna be elevated
Reinstated
Never back down when I'm being debated
I just wanna be mediocre, man

Gal Pals
02:50

Alanah:
Braiding each other's hair
Spilling secrets at slumber parties
Kissing on a dare
Trying on each other's clothes
Gals being pals!
Bev:
Will you take my friendship bracelet
and wear it forever, and ever, and ever?
Is she your new best friend?
Do you like her better than me?
I'm gonna hit her in the head!
Gals being pals!
Bethany:
Leaving your husband for a woman
Getting a mortgage, and tying the knot
Getting an allotment together
Growing some veg
Then adopting a child
Gals being pals!
Ciara:
Growing old together
Retiring to France, ah ah
Leaving all your Earthly possessions
To the love of your life, ah ah
Sharing a plot forever with your wife
For the rest of your life: "Gals being pals!"

Sell By Date
03:44

What do you mean you don't want children?
And when did you make that decision?
Does your other half agree?
Do you have an answer that will satisfy me?
Are you sure? Are you really sure?
You're not getting any younger
Your body clock is ticking on
Don't you want a legacy?
You're gonna end up old aged and lonely, sure
Are you really sure?
What if sometime down the line
You find you've changed your mind
But you'll be a long way from your prime?
You're gonna regret it one day
When you realise it's too late
When you've passed your sell by date
(Let me tell you I can't wait until I've passed my sell by date)
