about

My bandmate, Ben St. Jack, and I wrote this song. Ben came up with a great guitar riff and within an hour we had a lock on the feel and the lyrics. This song is fun, for sure, and it’s also my way of speaking to the strength, determination, and beauty of so many amazing women I’ve known – I’m grateful for their example, their friendship, and their baddassery during tough times. The “everything” that I’m singing about at the end of She Wants What is the right to be a fully-realized and recognized person in this world. Hey, who doesn’t want that? - Lily

lyrics

She wants what
She wants what
She wants what she wants

She wants what
She wants what
She wants what she wants

She’s at a tractor pull
Hot dog in her hand – a mouthful
Death metal tats all the way down
Warning you stand back cuz

She wants what
She wants what
She wants what she wants

She wants what
She wants what
She wants what she wants

She’s an office administrator
A specialist spreadsheet terminator
Calculating just how hard to swing
A lacquered hammer at the ceiling

Hey Ladies!

She wants what
She wants what
She wants what she wants

She wants what
She wants what
She wants what she wants

Hold a child to her breast
Nipple liquid, vaginal sweat
Raise the world in her mindset
Feminist agitator knows best what

She wants everything
She wants everything
She wants everything
