about

'resting bitch face' is a synth pop song about the hypocrisy of the patriarchy.

lyrics

Being in my body, is something that I've had to learn
respect for my ideas is something that I've had to earn...
and it's mad when you think about the picture as a whole
the years of joy and innocence the patriarchy stole
but they keep telling us:
it's just the way it is, the way it is.

Don't ever tell me just to: '"smile Darlin smile Darlin
no need to be so so hostile Darlin, smile Darlin
I haven't had it in a while darling, while darling".

Got that resting bitch face.
Na na na na na na na na na na nah x 3

Remembering the times when
I wore a fake wedding band in bars
and I wished I was invisible
avoiding cat-calls...from men in cars.
and it's sad when you think about
the trauma we endured, as we hoped it got better
and misogyny got cured.
But they keep telling us
it's just the way it is, the way it is.

Don't ever tell me just to smile darling, smile darling.
No need to be so so hostile darling, smile darling
I haven't had it in a while darling, while darling.

Got that resting bitch face.
