Story behind the song
The German autonomous movement pioneered many new traditions, and it is now the case that in every leftist household in Germany, men sit down to piss along with the women. In the name of helping in some small way with gender relations outside of Germany, I thought I’d write this song to try to help export this practice.
Lyrics
This world's full of challenges Some are big and some are small War, greed, pollution Might take some time to solve 'em all But if a long march starts with just one step There's one I'd like to mention If you live with your nostrils open Perhaps it's come to your attention You may be fighting for freedom All the night and day But when you come back home Someone's bound to say "You wanna change the world, man Believe me, I do, too But in the meantime is it required That we live in a fucking zoo" (Chorus) If the revolution starts at home Then let me tell you this Stand up for your rights, boys But sit down to piss If you've ever lived with other people You may know what I mean Who's gonna wash the dishes And get the bathtub clean As we scrub the tear gas from our eyes The issue may seem so little But what might make or break the movement Is exactly how you piddle (Chorus) If you just love to clean the toilet I say that is really neat But you could still save yourself some effort By pulling up a seat However if you claim your aim is true And you don't have to sit All I've got to say, son Is you are full of shit (Chorus) Yes if you really like to clean the loo That's all well and good But if you're like most guys You don't do it like you should So just make this tiny move Towards gender equity Try it for a couple months And I'm sure you'll agree (Chorus) Well I don't want to cramp your style Or keep you from doing your thing In your own apartment You can surely be the king But if you're indoors, sharing space I hope by now you see That the respectful thing to do Is to sit down when you pee (Chorus) ---- Created May, 2002 Copyright David Rovics 2002, all rights reserved
