Been a Son Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns

[Chorus]
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son

[Verse 2]
She should have made her mother proud
She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have had another chance
She should have fallen on her stance

[Chorus]
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son

[Bass Solo]

[Chorus]
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son

[Verse 1]
She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns

[Chorus]
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son

Genius Annotation

This song is basically about sexism against women.
Been A Son is a feminist song, pointing out sexism against humans for simply being born female, making us want to stop the medieval opinion that being female automatically makes you less valuable than a male. In this song, it is sung about a girl (that represents all women who have been discriminated against for being a girl) that has to endure her father’s (the father represents the misogynistic and sexist part of society) hate for her for simply not being born a son.
