Woman Is the Nigger of the World (Dick Cavette TV show) Songtext
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes, she is, think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it, do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won′t be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she′s real, we say she's trying to be a man
While puttin' her down, we pretend that she′s above us
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is, if you don′t believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slave of the slaves
Oh yeah, better scream about it, yes
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she′s too unworldly to be our friend
Well, woman is the nigger of the world
Yeah, she is, if you don't believe me take a look at the one you′re with
Oh, woman is the slave to the slave
Yeah, alright
Hit it
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young, we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart, we put her down for being so dumb
Oh well, woman is the nigger of the world, yes she is
If you don′t believe me, take a look to the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is, if you believe me better scream about
Ooh-hoo, oh-hey
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
Yes, she is, think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it, do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won′t be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she′s real, we say she's trying to be a man
While puttin' her down, we pretend that she′s above us
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is, if you don′t believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slave of the slaves
Oh yeah, better scream about it, yes
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she′s too unworldly to be our friend
Well, woman is the nigger of the world
Yeah, she is, if you don't believe me take a look at the one you′re with
Oh, woman is the slave to the slave
Yeah, alright
Hit it
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young, we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart, we put her down for being so dumb
Oh well, woman is the nigger of the world, yes she is
If you don′t believe me, take a look to the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is, if you believe me better scream about
Ooh-hoo, oh-hey
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
