In Response to: "It's A Man's World"


Sure they say it’s a man’s world

Are they wrong?

No, but are they sure it ain’t also mine?

You know I could live;

Without the toys and trains

Without the cars and electric lights

And definitely without the money.

But, I couldn’t live,

Without the men and women.

So lets leave the possession to

The mothers

The fathers

Sisters and brothers

And the baby boys and girls

I could get used to livin’ in a world

Belonging to all

You all should love all like they’re your own

You all need to nurture mankind like you care

And you all need to protect it like you had a chance

But, you’ve got to know you cant

Be fighting selfish

Be hating hard

And crying like you have nothing

You know I could

Without the boat full of water

Without the roads, buildings

And definitely without the money

But, I couldn’t live without

The men and women.
