The yard was cold and dark
the tracks were clearly marked
But she was tired/ she didn't see
She was just out alone
She wasn't going home
she was going somewhere far away
The train was moving through
as we know the world has to do
Everyone will say it was her fault
Somewhere a camera is placed
inside this awful place
The accident is about to start
Was it a lie?
Did it fill you head
Did it entertain?
Will you feel alive
at the end of it?
When the collision came
she died right away
her body flung almost sixty feet
and as she split in two
was she coming straight for you
and do you have a camera for a face?
was she your TV show
Was she your video
A woman's pain never private,
always seen
I want to close my eyes
I want to cut the wires
I want a day not made for you to see
When you play it back to me
it feels more like a parody
And that's all I will ever be
It's all I will ever be
I really don't care about it
I don't care if it's cold
I really want to be the prettiest wreck
you've seen
(You broadcast it in 50 states
looped her death on the internet
and a woman's life got cheaper that day
a woman's life got cheaper that day)

Sleater-Kinney è un gruppo musicale statunitense di genere alternative rock, formatosi a Olympia, Washington, nel 1994. Le componenti fondatrici sono Corin Tucker (voce, chitarra), Carrie Brownstein (chitarra, voce) e Janet Weiss (batteria). Il nome del gruppo deriva da una strada che attraversa il quartiere di Lacey nella città di Olympia. Le Sleater-Kinney hanno raggiunto un'ampia popolarità negli anni '90 e 2000 grazie al loro sound energico e alle liriche femministe, diventando un punto di riferimento per la scena indie rock americana. Tra i loro album più importanti figurano *Dig Me Out* (1997), *The Hot Rock* (2000) e *All Hands on the Bad One* (2015). Il gruppo ha collaborato con artisti come The Breeders e Bikini Kill, contribuendo a definire l'estetica e la filosofia del movimento riot grrrl. Dopo una pausa nel 2006, le Sleater-Kinney sono tornate insieme nel 2014, pubblicando nuovi album e continuando a esibirsi in tutto il mondo.
