Aus-rotten - Isolation or Solution lyrics

In a system based on inequality where do you draw the line

Between fighting to stop oppression and perpetuating the same crime

When you start to define anyone simply based upon their gender

They you're guilty of the crime and wan equally wrong offender

It makes life easy to force people into simple categories

You're a man, you're a woman isn't that the same old story

And as a man society has mapped out exactly what you must do

Just as society has told all women what their roles are too

Too many times we think fighting sexism means creating a battlefield

With men on one side and women on the other and both sides ready to kill

But striving to find creative solutions to a problem that exists

Doesn't have to mean that it's her side against his

Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem?

Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem?

Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem?

Isolation or solution to the problem

A person's ability to fight sexism shouldn't be based on gender

Just because someone is a man doesn't mean he's a sexist oppressor

Or that he's blind to the problems that create gender inequality

And that he's blind to the problems that create gender inequality

And that he's not willing to do his part to help change society

Just as some women don't know exactly how to take a stand against gender roles

Simply because they're a woman doesn't mean they have all the knowledge and the tools

To break down the barriers of oppression and inequality that exists

Because it's the barriers between women and men that allows sexism to persist

Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem?

Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem?

Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem?

Isolation or solution to the problem

If you don't strive to stop oppression then you're part of the problem

Whether you're a man or a woman it'll take us all to fucking stop them

Men and women both suffer under he heavy hand of oppression

Both living gender roles that only lead to this suppression

Of our natural ability to communicate and live equally with each other

As a friend or a lover, as a sister or a brother

If our only goal in fighting sexism is to try and place blame

Then unfortunately we're all guilty of playing the same games

But if in unity women and men come together and take a stand

Then with our united goal we could bring sexism to an end

Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem?

Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem?

Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem?

Isolation or solution to the problem
