[Margaret Atwood - The Chorus Line: A Rope-Jumping Rhyme lyrics]

We are the maids the ones you killed
The ones you failed

We danced in air our bare feet twitched
It was not fair

With every goddess, queen, and bitch
From there to here you scracthed your itch

We did much less than what you did
You judged us bad

You had the spear you had the word
At your command

We scrubbed the blood of our dead
Paramours from floors, from chairs

From stairs, from doors, we knelt in waters
While you stared

At our bare feet it was not fair
You licked our fear

It gave you pleasure you raised your hand
You watched us fall

We danced in air the ones your failed
The ones you killed
