lyrics

Objectify video edit


An unspecified geographical place, but the setting is a nightclub venue,
There are women looking attractive in a way that is, quite conventional
Accompanied by many close friends, ‘partying’ what I intend to do,
And by ‘partying’ I imply the vibe is possibly sexual …it is
…I’m sipping well known drinks showing I can afford expensive tastes
The clothes that I’m wearing? - Some obvious designer names (obvious!)
One lady catches my eye cos I get sexy vibes from her steps in the dance (dancing!)
Then I have to emphasise the size of certain body parts
Urrrgh!… Continue my poorly constructed narrative
Don’t need to mention how we start talking, or anything ‘bout what her character is
She’s just characterised by her physique and that all men in the club fancy it (mmm)
The terms I use are belittling or just offensive language (really bad words!!)
I got two choices how I portray this person, listen
Either an over-sexed predator or just my next willing victim
Her prowess when dancing clearly relates to some future sex position
Cos she’s a coitus driven - unavailable vixen. Doesn’t matter if its fiction,
Yeah, yeah yeah !… Just get the club singing

Chorus:
Objectify the women… (YEAH!)
General party type stuff (woooo!)
Objectify the women… (C’mon!)
I really like women’s body parts (don’t question his sexuality!!!!)

Cos I’m a man! man!, man! man! man!
Exaggerate how-I make her moan
Add in more brand names! add some braggadocio
As if directly correlating to my financial state – the a- mount -I own
Is the number of broads, bitches, yats and ho’s I got on the go! (lots of girls!)
Say I have sex with different ethnic groups, but tonight prefer
Not black or brown - see the real conquest, is “light skin” girls (lighties!)
Or perhaps fetishize girls with a far eastern background for instance
And play on stereotypes that those women are more submissive
(Cheese!) Drinkin’ and druggin’ we ain’t sober - we turnt tonight!
Between consent and rape culture we can blur those lines
Cos she’s got body parts body parts, then we put it in
Start having sex…. But never really mention a kiss
Urgh! Cos she’s got body parts body parts, Hello miss!
And then use a double entendre so obvious, I might as well as do this…
Yeaaaah!… You know what is…



Objectify the women…
Make ‘em do sexual favours, yeah yeah!
Objectify the women… (yeah, let’s do that!)
I can’t be misogynist I love my Mum (his Mum!)

(singing)

Refrain from a girl whispering sexy things in my ear (oh baby)
And add female validation that all my sexy claims are real (sing it girl, yeah)
Remember the role of the male in this song is simply: possessing wealth, (yeah) while females are sexual commodities themselves, (yeah?) implying a complex transactional relationship between gender and money - therefore painting all women as, kind of, ambiguous prostitute figures if you think about it….

….Nah, thought not.

Chorus:
Objectify the women…
Blah blah blah materialism (cash)
Don’t say anything about how old they are (shhh!)
Programme the kids to objectify themselves and…
Objectify the women…
Cos its bros over ho’s and if you didn’t know
By this point you’ve forgotten – everybody’s singing along to objectif- er- what?
That's not right.
