Liz Phair - Woman lyrics
[Liz Phair - Woman lyrics]
"Woman" is a bad word
When you're giving all you can
But the world keeps spinning faster
And they tell you you're not a man
They just take, take, take
What they need, need, need
While you break, break, break
And you bleed, bleed, bleed
Can you make it easier on me?
And he said, "na na, na na, na
Na, na na, hold on there, missy
Where do you think you're
Go-go-going in my city?"
I said, "well, well, well, well
Let me tell you, big brother
I don't answer to you - I answer to another"
It's not what you're born into
It's where you go from there
From the soy fields of West Virginia
To the townhouse in Harpers Square
You just take, take
What you need, need, need
Let them beg, beg, beg
Let them plead, plead, plead
Can you make it easier on me?
And he said, "na na, na na, na
Na, na na, hold on there, missy
Where do you think you're
Go-go-going in my city?"
I said, "well, well, well, well
Let me tell you, big brother
I don't answer to you - I answer to another
Answer to another"
Oh, we got a long way to go
Keep stepping, just keep stepping
Oh, keep walking, done with talking
Just keep walking on
He said, "na na, na na, na
Na, na na, hold on there, missy
Where do you think you're
Go-go-going in my city?"
I said, "well, well, well, well
Let me tell you, big brother
I don't answer to you - I answer to another
Answer to another answer to another"
When you're giving all you can
But the world keeps spinning faster
And they tell you you're not a man
They just take, take, take
What they need, need, need
While you break, break, break
And you bleed, bleed, bleed
Can you make it easier on me?
And he said, "na na, na na, na
Na, na na, hold on there, missy
Where do you think you're
Go-go-going in my city?"
I said, "well, well, well, well
Let me tell you, big brother
I don't answer to you - I answer to another"
It's not what you're born into
It's where you go from there
From the soy fields of West Virginia
To the townhouse in Harpers Square
You just take, take
What you need, need, need
Let them beg, beg, beg
Let them plead, plead, plead
Can you make it easier on me?
And he said, "na na, na na, na
Na, na na, hold on there, missy
Where do you think you're
Go-go-going in my city?"
I said, "well, well, well, well
Let me tell you, big brother
I don't answer to you - I answer to another
Answer to another"
Oh, we got a long way to go
Keep stepping, just keep stepping
Oh, keep walking, done with talking
Just keep walking on
He said, "na na, na na, na
Na, na na, hold on there, missy
Where do you think you're
Go-go-going in my city?"
I said, "well, well, well, well
Let me tell you, big brother
I don't answer to you - I answer to another
Answer to another answer to another"
