about
This track is about how society conditions women through the lens of the male gaze and then regards them with disdain and shame when they mature under these conditions.
lyrics
All your girls are crazy
All your girls are wild
They all listen to your music
As they nod at you and smile
They were all once babies
Their moms would read to them at night
And with her they would fight
Her body all their lives
All your girls are diamonds
They all wrestle with their hair
Bleeding rivers to buy face creams
To hide wrinkles that aren’t there
They were all once mountains
Bathed in summers and sighs
But father time eroded them
And polished off their smiles
Ooh
All your girls are nightmares
They remind you of your pain
With their wicked wandering whispers
Still you choose them all the same
They were all once angels
Glowing silver in the sun
But boys like you they jaded them
And wonder why they run
Oooh
All your girls are crazy
All your girls are wild
All your girls are crazy
All your girls are wild
All your girls are wild
They all listen to your music
As they nod at you and smile
They were all once babies
Their moms would read to them at night
And with her they would fight
Her body all their lives
All your girls are diamonds
They all wrestle with their hair
Bleeding rivers to buy face creams
To hide wrinkles that aren’t there
They were all once mountains
Bathed in summers and sighs
But father time eroded them
And polished off their smiles
Ooh
All your girls are nightmares
They remind you of your pain
With their wicked wandering whispers
Still you choose them all the same
They were all once angels
Glowing silver in the sun
But boys like you they jaded them
And wonder why they run
Oooh
All your girls are crazy
All your girls are wild
All your girls are crazy
All your girls are wild
