lyrics

Hey girl be pretty and slim
well washed hair
Be prudish at first glance
but still a little sexy.

Don't go out too late at night
but still stay affordable
Don't wear a short skirt in the street
but put a nightie in bed.

Every day, all the time
we ask you to be a perfect girl
the injunctions, the oppressions, the obligations
Smash this smash this!

The propriety, the complacency, the thoughtfulness
Destroy, destroy !

What your father wants
What your guy desires
Don't be, don't be that perfect girl.

Go on a diet, do sport,
stay fit and starved
and even when you are pregnant
always have to make them hard.

Be careful what you say
don't talk too much
Don't forget to smile, babe
and always be in a good mood.

Every day, all the time
we ask you to be a perfect girl
the injunctions, the oppressions, the obligations
Smash this smash this!

The propriety, the complacency, the thoughtfulness
Destroy, destroy !

What your father wants
What your guy desires
Don't be, don't be that perfect girl.

Be the whore that makes them cum in bed
Be the caring and pampering mother
Be the nurse, the shrink, and raise their egos
Be whatever they want and don't forget to be the punching bag

Play all roles well
be their perfect girl
Well cropped and submitted

Please don't play this roles anymore
emancipate yourself
Don't be the woman they expect
Just be yourself

In the street, in the privacy
thousands of women
have made the choice of freedom
and feed the blaze of revolution


Every day, all the time
we ask you to be a perfect girl
the injunctions, the oppressions, the obligations
Smash this smash this!

The propriety, the complacency, the thoughtfulness
Destroy, destroy !

What your father wants
What your guy desires
Don't be, don't be that perfect girl
