Lyrics

Upset the Apple Cart
 
Verse 1
Faces disfigured from acid attacks
Brides are burning cause the dowry ain't much
Sexual assault on the college campus
Hunting witches to set an example

Chorus 1
But every time a woman like Soraya M.
Is buried waist deep and stoned to death
You know we just gotta stand as one
Stand tall and upset the apple cart
Stand tall and upset the apple cart

Verse 2
Women in purdah, women forced to marry
Malala is shot cause she wants to study
Sexual assault and forced abortion
Mothers flatten breasts of their daughters

Chorus 2
But every time a woman like India's Daughter
Is raped by a gang and dies a few days later 
You know we just gotta stand as one
Stand tall and upset the apple cart
Stand tall and upset the apple cart


Bridge/Spoken-raplike
Now I don't want to spoil your dinner with stories of women getting abused 
And genitalia mutilation in Sierra Leone

And if you don't know where that place is 
If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about
Doesn't mean what I'm saying is not true or false

And I don't mean to wreck your mood with the trafficking of women sold as sex slaves
Or the western wife with the blackened eye and the swollen lips caused by her drunk beta male

You know we just gotta get together
Stand tall, stand tall
You know we just gotta stand as one
Stand tall, stand tall

Chorus 3
But every time there's violence against someone's daughter
Must harness the waves come hell or high water
You know we just gotta stand as one
Stand tall and upset the apple cart 
Stand tall and upset the apple cart
