Woman Is the Nigger of the World lyrics

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 of the slave

Ah yeah, better scream about it

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

Woah, 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

Oh, woman is the slave to the slave

Yeah, all right, hit it

We insult her everyday 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, 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

Yes she is, if you believe it you better scream about it

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...
