about

(J. Arrowsmith)

The post-feminist trap for the woman who thinks she has to do everything. Self therapy via song writing perhaps?

lyrics

When I was a little girl I knew that I could do it all
Now that I'm a woman grown, I just want some time at home
 
All my life is hurrying, worrying
All my life is busy 'cause I just can't let go
 
When I was young and in my prime I'd read to while away the time
Now the books stay on the shelf, the laundry doesn't do itself
 
I once had freedom every day to choose when I would rest and play
Now my time's not mine alone, a mother's work is never done
 
Stress and headaches sometimes hit, knock me back a little bit
I've got to change before I break or kill myself with too much cake
