The Women Song:
The deciding factor of a womans plight / Left up to men with no sight / To a
womans mind or a womans soul / He controls, She is controlled / They control our
bodies decide our fate / Control our minds driven only by hate / Their hate for
women and the rights we demands / They want to control, they want to command /
It's not often thought of and it's usually dismissed / So it's up to us to show it exists
/ We've pushed it all under, tucked it deep down inside / But the damage it wont go
away / It grows stronger with every breath / The end result is emotional death / We
learned to live with it, we choose to pretend / Hoping in our ignorance the pain will
end / If we deny the anger, deny the pain / The hatred we feel will drive us insane /
Then one day we come to see, we aren't who we pretend to be / We won't be
passive or hide our pain / Wont take abuse for another gain / Control our bodies,
decide our fate / Control our minds driven only by hate / Their hate for women and
the rights we demand / They want control, they want to command /
Songs are sung and thats a start / But it doesn't change the hurt in our hearts /
Words are said and lyrics rhyme / The pain we feel doesn't lessen in time /
Women deal with it everyday, the pain it cause wont go away / it grows stronger
with every breath, the end result is emotional death /
Men make the laws and women a bide / We feel so helpless we run and hide / It's
not only our rights being stolen away / But a bit of each of us is lost everyday /
Then one day we come to see, we aren't who we pretend to be / We wont be
passive or deny our pain / Won't take abuse for another gain /
