lyrics

He says, "Hey, darlin', you should smile.
You'll look much better for a while.
Why say that isn't what you feel,
When only surfaces are real?
What kind of a bitch would say no?"
You roll your eyes and off you go.
He thinks he flatters with his gaze,
But you know what's behind that praise:
He wants you to step meekly to the back of the line
And beam like a little ray of sunshine.
Step meekly to the back of the line
And beam like a little ray of sunshine.

He says, "Hey, sweetheart, you should know
You've gone as far as you can go.
No matter your skills or degrees,
You'll only advance on your knees."
The broken chromosome in charge
Makes his opinions overlarge.
And who'd believe you anyway.
Your ugly choice: submit or stay
And step meekly to the back of the line
And beam like a little ray of sunshine.
Step meekly to the back of the line
And beam like a little ray of sunshine.

He barrels over every word,
So don't imagine you'll be heard.
No matter what your expertise,
Just nod and smile, don't say your piece.
That's what he'd tell you if you stayed,
But you'll do what makes him afraid:
Ignoring him's an injury,
The baby step that sets you free.
So don't step meekly to the back of the line
And beam like a little ray of sunshine.
Step meekly to the back of the line
And beam like a little ray of sunshine.

Discretion makes you a modern girl,
Modesty makes you a modern girl,
Temperance makes you a modern girl,
And abstinence makes you a modern girl.
