I saw this picture from the eighties
A group of strong and fearless ladies
Walking arm in arm in lines
Holding up their protest signs
From suffragettes to pride parades
From Roe v Wade to Stonewall raids
Women still show up I know
But where did all the butches go
I'd like a life where I could see
Other girls who look like me
Instead I've watched us disappear
Just like our bars do every year
I'm grateful that what once was gay
Is LGBTQIA
'Cause now there's much more room to find our place
Where we can show our truest face
But still it's lonely when you feel
That in our self-acceptance zeal
We've lost a way that girls can be
We've lost a place for girls like me
I saw this picture from the eighties
It's of a group of strong and fearless ladies
But the future that they had foretold
Has never really taken hold
We've seen the rights they won erode
We've seen all women's progress slowed
And still I'll stand for all our rights
I'll raise my voice and fight the fights
But while we battle to be free
It still can feel so sad to see
The once absurd now common sight
Of so few butches left to fight
From suffragettes to pride parades
From Roe v Wade to Stonewall raids
Women still show up I know
But where did all the
Where did all the
Where did all the butches go
