about

‘The Policy’: a modern-day rock anthem featuring soaring vocal harmonies, hard rhythms and driving guitars. Beginning as a delicate, harmony-laden slow burn with pizzicato strings, the positive self-empowerment message gradually ascends through huge symphonic choruses into a fiery, dramatic climax. Epic, visceral, defiant and empowering: THIS IS THE GLITORIS POLICY.

lyrics

Set the bar (set the bar)
Higher than them (higher than them)
Get ahead (get ahead)
Better than them (better than them)

Set the bar, set the bar
It’s gotta be higher than them, higher than them
To get ahead, get ahead
You gotta be better than them, better than them

Equality, honesty
Ain’t just an ideology, fantasy
We’re not perceived to have authority, quality
Cos we’re always in the minority consistently
And you gotta be better than them to get ahead
And you gotta work harder than them to win your bread
Get to your feet and show tenacity, integrity
This is your policy
You gotta be, gotta be

Brilliant
You gotta be, gotta be resilient
You gotta be, gotta be confident
You gotta be, gotta be dominant
This is The Glitoris Policy

Set the bar, set the bar
It’s gotta be higher than them, higher than them
To get ahead, get ahead
You gotta be better than them, better than them
For inequality, poverty
Is an unshakable reality, can’t you see
You take your place in the minority category
According to your physicality, anatomy
And expect to be obedient, subservient
Unless you’re willing to be different, significant
Then you gotta be excellent, eminent
This is your policy
You gotta be, gotta be

Brilliant
You gotta be, gotta be resilient
You gotta be, gotta be confident
You gotta be, gotta be dominant
You gotta be, gotta be brilliant (better than them, you gotta be)
You gotta be, gotta be resilient (better than them, better than them)
You gotta be, gotta be confident (better than them, you gotta be)
You gotta be, gotta be better than (better than them, better than them)

Them
Them

Brilliant
You gotta be, gotta be resilient
You gotta be, gotta be confident
You gotta be, gotta be dominant
You gotta be, gotta be brilliant (better than them, you gotta be)
You gotta be, gotta be resilient (better than them, better than them)
You gotta be, gotta be confident (them)
You gotta be, gotta be dominant

about

Glitoris image

Glitoris Canberra, Australia

Loud. Unapologetic. Hilarious. Fierce, Fun, Frenetic, and Femme: Glitoris is more than just a band. Blending genre-defying art rock musicianship with razor-sharp lyrics, sardonic wit, on-point politics, and theatrical badassery, Glitoris is equal parts fists-in-the-air anthems, high-octane frenzy, and call-to-arms empowerment. ... more
