about

SURPRISE! We've released a new single for International Women's Day. True to Hot Mess style, loudly calling out and bringing attention to the injustices, inequalities, and general BS, Womyn are faced with every day. This one's for you patriarchal misogyny!

lyrics

You think you’re special but you’re not
For you it’s all about your cock
My body’s nothing but a toy
You’re just a little boy

You won’t let me decide
If I want this ride
Think I’m too stupid to know
If I stay or if I go

YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT
YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT

Of course you want me I’m awesome
But I’m too good for you sucka!
No respect, time to go
Misogyny, NO MEANS NO

When are you gonna learn
My decision my word
You have no fucking say here
Reproductive rights, breeding fear!

YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT
YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT

Don’t undress me with your eyes
All your phobes, all your lies
Not just a body but a soul
Won’t be dancin’ on your poll

When will you get it through your head
You’re not welcome in my bed
Ignorant to the core
You think my vag is gore

YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT
YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT

You can stare and judge my chest
You think you know best
You just wanna mount me
Claim me and own me

You don’t know how to please
I reject your disease
Roe and Wade were right
And we’ll keep up the fight

YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT
YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT

I owe no explanation
I choose my own expression
You don’t decide my womb
Sexism is a tomb

It’s confirmed I’ve had enough
Go ahead call my bluff
I won’t accept your seed
All over you, gonna bleed

YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT
YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT

It’s time for you to learn
You make my stomach turn
Go away I’m off to play

Womyn all over the place
Vanish without a trace
We live in gender fear
But you don’t wanna hear

YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOUR’E NOT
YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT
YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT
YOU THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL BUT YOU’RE NOT

Hot Mess are a three-piece womyn’s punk band from the Bellinger river, Bindarray Yurruun, on Gumbaynggirr Country on the mid- North coast of NSW. We are Cole Flett (vocals, guitar), Jo Ware (vocals, drums) and Sarah Wright (vocals, bass) and we play feminist, menopausal, garage, punk rock. We have a lot to say and we reckon that an old school, womyn’s punk band is the perfect way to say it, loudly! ... more
