It's a Man's World

Pots and pans all around Yet her thoughts are elsewhere found Within the magic of books and math No, no, no we cant have that Even if she were to learn Only one role would she truly earn “It's a man's world” She wonders, “How can that be?” “Is it not the 21st century?” “It's a man's world” she is told We are wise, as we are old Listen now, listen well For then your in-laws will think you swell Yes you may be pretty, you may be smart But even housework is an art Clean clothes, do the dishes That's your job, you'd best listen It's a man's world If he helps that's his credit But its your duty & responsibilty. Dont you see? They run the world, While home is the place for you and me So of course you can work But make sure its part time For a job can wait, Not cooking is the real crime “It's a mans world” So learn now, learn fast Your good impression must last We dont want talk We cant bear to hear In-laws whispering complaints in our ear “It's a man's world” You'd best start to mold Stop looking at others We know best, as did our mothers Of course we want you to study And do well, that is true But at the end of it all Forget trying to “stand tall” Leave that to your husband to be Home is the place for you and me Sick and tired of these terrible lies My life is mine, for me to decide You may think that you know Ancient thoughts, time to let go It may not seem so and yet Give it some time, time to set For we do not live in a world That is so partially owned Long has passed the era of thrones We shall wake up and start a new Not man's or woman's...your world belongs to you.
