Disaffected Middle-aged Women

A new sociological category to scare the establishment …

Somewhat like the angry youth
But rather longer in the tooth
We’re gobby, feisty, loud, uncouth
We’re Disaffected Middle-aged Women

Kicking our heels against the wall
Plotting in the shopping mall
Go tell them we’re not playing ball
We’re Disaffected Middle-aged Women

Armed with Sertraline prescriptions
Feminist magazine subscriptions
Complaints of various descriptions
We’re Disaffected Middle-aged Women

We won’t be judged on how we dress
We’re going to save the NHS
We’re doing yoga for the stress
We’re Disaffected Middle-aged Women

With the leadership skills of Princess Leia
The kicks of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
We don’t chill out – we add a layer
We’re Disaffected Middle-aged Women

We’re meeting to plan our strategy
By the gates at school at half past three
Pumped up on hormone therapy
We’re Disaffected Middle-aged Women

Bosses and sexists, be afraid
We’re not your skivvy or your maid
We don’t care if our colours fade
We’re Disaffected Middle-aged Women

Forming a gang on an estate near you
Fighting cuts and misogyny too
Then home in time for a refreshing brew
With the Disaffected Middle-aged Women
