about

"It is a woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a man's to keep unmarried as long as possible"
- George Bernard Shaw

lyrics

Aditi:
How old are you now 25, 26?
The family's asking when you going to get hitched
Drop some babies in the mix
Your internal clock is ticking, why you got me in a fix

When you settle down you can do as you wish
Why don't you find a good man, the sea is full of fish

Don't you understand, that's not all I want?
I've got my own aspirations, so don't call me nonchalant

But you're of marriageable age
Dark side of your twenties
You're of marriageable age
Freedom of spirit you've had plenty
Why are you running around
What are you doing with your life
You going to end up in the lost and found
If you're no someone's wife
soon..

Dee:
Time is ticking ticking why you wanna slip it slip it
Your beauty is dripping dripping why you think you're different different
You're getting flipped flipped time to get you hitch hitched
Turn off your switch switch time to dream is up kid

It is our business hypocrisy is limitless
This is the system no point in resisting
The more you say no, the harder we gon try
It is our only goal, don't ask us why

You're in India, not in the States
What is lost once cannot be replaced
Here's another rishtaa now just don't debate
If the stars align then why the fuck you wanna wait
Beta you're a sack of egg better pop before it's late
We don't wanna see you be free just blame it on your fate

Purani soch ko badalna namumkin hai
Jiyo ji bharke but only if you're misses and
Shaadi ke baad karlo hugs lelo kisses man
License to live hai yeh marriage certificate

Why don't you understand? You're a zimmedari
Bachpana tum chodo ab kya kahegi duniya saari
Look at this photo your maasi just sent me
Don't you roll your eyes baby you can be his lady
Cook him food after work try to keep him happy
In laws are in charge now always gotta be sanskaari

Being a brown girl is both a curse and a boon
They wanna tie me down but I wanna touch the moon
Marriageable Age khaul raha hai khoon
Can't wait till your 30 the time is coming soon
