Contravene - Traditions lyrics

Traditions ring hollow, traditions ring true Billions still following but they haven't got a clue Turn a blind eye to the origins Another time and place Where meanings changed with religious trends and f**ed up social ways Indoctrination Your path has been chosen Indoctrination Don't just blindly accept it The need for power and the privilege to own another human being A lifetime of holy matrimony Symbolized by a ring Prearranged and re-arranged Prepare for life in these chains Do you take this man to be your master? "I don't" is not the answer Reproductive slave machine is all this ritual was meant to mean Do you take this woman to be your wife? "I do", now sentence her to f**ing life Tradition hides lies, traditions hold truth Do we really need this paper to show us the proof? Do we really want to continue to give our daughters away? In a stupid game that used to mean rape, torture and slavery Rituals created for us in a day and a time When we had no choice what we did with our bodies or lives Bought and sold, they robbed us of all our pride From birth they owned us until we died.
