Tell me you never wanna see me again
And then keep showing up at my house
Tell me you'll never be in love again
Now you're walking round with someone else

If I was hungry then you were starving
And he was so sick but you were dying
If I was hungry then you were starving
Now tell the dead man that you're the one dying

Treat them like queens until they disagree
And never reflect to think 'wait, maybe the problem was me'
Nah, man, just keep smoking weed
Tell this one 'yeah they were all crazy, unlike you baby.'

Tell me that no one knows me like you do
And tell me that my friends don't tell me the truth
And maybe I'll come crawling back to you
Like, that was your plan, right?

You worked so hard but we were 'just lucky'
To ride those coat tails into infinity
And all my success has got nothing to do with me
Yeah, tell me again how there just aren't that many girls in the music scene

It's another all-male tour preaching equality
It's another straight cis man who knows more about this than me
It's another man telling us we're missing a frequency, show 'em Kelly
It's another man telling us we can't fill up the room
It's another man telling us to book a smaller venue
'Nah, hey, cmon girls we're only thinking about you'
Well, see how far we've come not listening to you

"Yeah, just get a female opener, that'll fill the quota."

Love the Australian accent and I love this song!!!

[melissalewis]

This was coven recommended, and I loved it! Very powerful!

[mynameisam]

More people need to recognise Kelso for the killer bassist that she is!

[smtty.]

Kelly always kills these punchy little bass lines I LOVE it

[laurencurtis]

This song is amazing. Hits me right where I need it to

[Nfdds]

all the love from Scotland, keep rockin

[atilla]

Repeat button everyday for their full album. Really lit 🔥

[briannaward]

Yes! Preach it! No one ever seems to haveba problem when men write songs about "bitches" or "hoes" or how women have souls from down below but God forbid a woman write a song telling the truth. People if you can't understand that point they're making then you haven't noticed the sexism that has infiltrated every aspect of western society. Women, don't sit down and be quiet anymore! Men, encourage equality amongst yourselves! SUCH A BANGERRRR

[PhillyDove]

Yes! Thank you Camp Cope for teaching me more about what women deal with in the industry. Your music is so amazing! I'm still happy I got to tell them in person in Philly!

[Broccolily]

I heard the end of this on the radio once and it stayed with me, I adore it, thank you thank you thank you

[librarianarpita]

I love it! I can't wait for the new album! Thanks for your hard work.

[DUFMAN]

'Yeah just get a female opener that will fill the quota' - great line

[melody]

When the venue staff saw the look on their faces when they told them that they probably were like “fuck… im gonna be in a song now”

[paralights]

this song is amazing! goosebumps for days

[melody]

I think on this song somewhere that used to be an idiotic comment that said something like “actually I disagree, but this is a really good song. “

I remember thinking it was so fucking funny like what, they’re telling you about the experience they had and your disagreeing with them? What that even mean?

Like another version of where a woman tells the story that happened to her and then someone is like “source? “

[jamesonjacobs]

I can't stop listening to this. Seriously. Holy fuck!!!

[liamjonasscale]

i know im like a year late on this but....this is just Everclear with different words

[JordanGrant]

I only heard this song a few weeks ago and I think it's my favourite song of all time ❤️❤️❤️

[ricci]

I had to listen 3 times. There is a magic to this music. I hope to see them in the US soon!!
