lyrics

Came into this world kicking and screaming, and that's exactly how we'll die. They think they can break us, we would like to see them try. They wanna shape and mould us, in the name of reform, we don't fit their doll shaped moulds, don't wanna wear maid uniforms. We're the flash mob, flash mob, we're the flash mob. They send us out and make us servants, but we don't wanna be assigned. They beat and rape and whip and chain us, but we stay strong deep down inside. They line is up and powder our noses, to be chosen as free settlers wives, forever to be ruled over by our husbands, and they're wondering why we don't wanna be brides. We're the flash mob, we're the flash mob, flash mob, flash mob. Outside the walls of the female factory, we got street smarts in our bags, while we distract them with our bodies, we're trafficking behind their backs. Flashy mouths and flashy clothes, prison issue dress won't kill our fun, when we're thrown back in factory we don't worry, cause we got black market tobacco and rum. We're the flash mob, flash mob, we're the flash mob. They can split us up and put us where we can't be seen, but in Ross and Launceston we will reconvene, we'll escape our masters but we may not get far, but from Richmond to Strahan they'll know who we are. Sent here for the sins of our masters, who deprive us in perverted ways, then we're punished for pregnancy out of wedlock, and we have to take all the blame. Brought up fast and tough and free, we won't be rules by the upper classes. Lady Franklin and the gov'ner look down their noses, they can look real hard when we flash our asses. We're the flash mob, flash mob, we're the flash mob, we're the flash mob, flash mob, we're the flash mob.
