Giulia Mei Flag – text
Free, I want to be free
Not to wear or carry a veil
I wear a lot of makeup
Don't shave me for months, for years
Free, I want to be free
Going out in the evening, coming back alone
Without the fear
Even the garbage kind
To have a child even at forty years old
To divorce, then remarry
Loving a man ten years younger
Who loves me, really loves me
Making love, shooting a porno
Change your bed every day too
And to die as I please
Not massacred by a criminal
Not from the stones of a headline writer
Nor from the papers of a criminal lawyer
From the God-fearing children
Who spit shit and hit send
They spit shit and hit send
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
I will make money out of my pussy
Oh simulacrum of new life
I will make construction sites out of my hands
Oh most fragile tulips
I will make a flag of my life
That will shine in the dark night
I will make a flag of my life
That will shine in the dark night
I'll make a flag out of my pussy
That will shine in the dark night
I'll make a flag out of my pussy
That will shine in the dark night
I'll make a flag out of my pussy
That will shine in the dark night
I'll make a flag out of my pussy
That will shine in the dark night
I'll make a flag out of my pussy
That will shine in the dark night
I'll make a flag out of my pussy
That will shine in the dark night
I'll make a flag out of my pussy
That will shine in the dark night
I'll make a flag out of my pussy
That will shine in the dark night
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(I'll make a flag out of my pussy)
(That will shine in the black night)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(I'll make a flag out of my pussy)
(That will shine in the black night)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(I'll make a flag out of my pussy)
(That will shine in the black night)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(I'll make a flag out of my pussy)
Free, sooner or later I'll be free
When the war is over
We will all return to life
