lyrics

What is this thing called magic ?
What is this thing called art ?


Maybe simply Ways
To achieve changes
Into consciousness.
Transformative powers,
Transformative forces,
I shouldn't know about.

Don't need any hat
Don't need any cat
Don't need any bat
To know that.

Don't need any toad
Don't need any owl
Don't need any crow
To do so.

And if I do
And if I do
And if I do
And if I do...

Just catch me
And burn me
Or drown me
Disappear me

For what I know
(I should know less than you do...)
For questioning norms
(...and shape myself to your views)
For being old
(I should always remain...)
Or being young
(...under the care of a man)


Wring Well the Wicked and Wrong Witch !
Wring Well the Wicked and Wrong Woman !
Wring Well the Wicked and Wrong Witch !
Wring Well the Wicked and Wrong Woman !



What is this thing called magic ?
What is this thing called art ?

Some knowledge of language ?
Some science of symbols ?
Relationships between
Humans and their higher selves ?
Some dangerous awareness
I shouldn't know about....

Don't need any toad
Don't need any owl
Don't need any crow
To do so.

Don't need any hat
Don't need any cat
Don't need any bat
To know that.

And if I do
And if I do
And if I do
And if I do...

Just bully me
And jail me
Or kill me
Disappear me

For being ugly
(I should always please your eye...)
For being pretty
(...but I should never entice)
For owning my body
(I should belong to you)
For being free
(My life just shouldn't be mine)


Wring Well the Wicked and Wrong Witch !
Wring Well the Wicked and Wrong Woman !
Wring Well the Wicked and Wrong Witch !
Wring Well the Wicked and Wrong Woman !



Independance : crime !
Knowledge : crime !
Power : crime !
Freedom : crime !
