Thank you sirs for the right to vote
|
Bet you didn't know I had a voice in my throat
|
Now let's see should I vote for "A" or "B"
|
"A" talks a lot
|
But not to me
|
"B" wants war
|
Kill or flunk
|
Forget the vote - I'll just go out and get drunk
|
|
They say a woman's place
|
Is to wait and serve
|
Under the veil
|
Submissive and dear
|
But I think my place
|
Is in a ship from space
|
To carry me
|
The hell out of here
|
|
Patriarchal great religions
|
Full of angels
|
Forgiving and fair
|
While they push the buttons and blow up the place
|
Might as well
|
Make room for a worthier race
|
|
They say a woman's place
|
Is to wait and serve
|
Under the veil
|
Submissive and dear
|
But I think my place
|
Is in a ship from space
|
To carry me
|
The hell out of here
|
|
All the colours in a race riot
|
In the land of the free
|
All the women are on a diet
|
I'm hungry
|
Are you hungry
|
I'm hungry
|
So hungry
|
For peace and quiet
|
|
Thank you sirs for the right to vote
|
The microwave
|
And the old mink coat
|
Now let's see should I vote for "A" or "B"
|
"A" talks a lot
|
But not to me
|
"B" wants war
|
Kill or flunk
|
Forget the vote - I'll just go out and get drunk
|
|
They say a woman's place
|
|
A woman's place
|
