Aus-Rotten - Isolation or Solution lyrics

In a system based on inequality where
Do you draw the line
Between fighting to stop oppression and
Perpetuating the same crime
When you start to define anyone
Simply based upon their gender
Then you're guilty of the crime
And an equally wrong offender
It makes life easy to force
People into simple categories you're a man
You're a woman isn't that
The same old story
And as a man society has mapped
Out exactly what you must do
Just as society has told all women
What their roles are too
Too many times we think fighting
Sexism means creating a battlefield
With men on one side and women on the
Other and both sides ready to kill
But striving to find creative solutions
To a problem that exists
Doesn't have to mean that it's
Her side against his

Can't you see, won't you see
Why don't you see that I'm the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see
Why don't you see that you're the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see
Why don't you see that we're the problem?
Isolation or solution to the problem

A person's ability to fight sexism
Shouldn't be based on gender
Just because someone is a man doesn't
Mean he's a sexist oppressor
Or that he's blind to the
Problems that create gender inequality
And that he's blind to the
Problems that create gender inequality
And that he's not willing to do
His part to help change society
Just as some women don't know exactly how
To take a stand against gender roles
Simply because they're a woman
Doesn't mean they
Have all the knowledge and the tools
To break down the barriers of
Oppression and inequality that exists
Because it's the barriers between women and
Men that allows sexism to persist

Can't you see, won't you see
Why don't you see that I'm the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see
Why don't you see that you're the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see
Why don't you see that we're the problem?
Isolation or solution to the problem

If you don't strive to stop oppression
Then you're part of the problem
Whether you're a man or a woman it'll
Take us all to fucking stop them
Men and women both suffer under
He heavy hand of oppression
Both living gender roles that only
Lead to this suppression
Of our natural ability to communicate and
Live equally with each other
As a friend or a lover
As a sister or a brother
If our only goal in fighting sexism
Is to try and place blame
Then unfortunately we're all guilty of
Playing the same games
But if in unity women and men
Come together and take a stand
Then with our united goal we could
Bring sexism to an end

Can't you see, won't you see
Why don't you see that I'm the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see
Why don't you see that you're the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see
Why don't you see that we're the problem?
Isolation or solution to the problem
