                                    What Women Can Do

                  The fairer sex has achieved a lot in the past hundred years
                   while living in this land of the supposed free and just
                      but women, please listen to these words of truth
                                we must still fight for change,
                           for this world of ours still is not fair
                                  and you still are not free

                       As the 20th century rose up like the morning sun
                         women slowly started to step out on their own
                   you smoke and drank with men, after cutting the length
                            of your dresses and hair just to see how
                                    the world would react
               but soon the drums of war began to beat, and you left the house
               to fight alongside men against a common foe, while raising your
                     fists up to the sky and chanting  WE CAN DO IT!

               When the guns fell silent, and all at once the world seemed well
                                we pushed you back into the home
                        where you cooked and cleaned from dawn to dark
                                and waited on us hand and foot
                        we bred you to be submissive lovers, and then
                                   perfect wives and mothers
                   but loved you only as long as you stayed within the home

              And all of a sudden, free love and civil rights were all the rage
                        and women started to leave the home once more
                      we gave you greater freedom than you'd had before
                      you could wear less clothing than in decades past
                   and were free to make yourselves attractive and satisfy
                                      the desires of men
                    WOMEN DESERVE TO BE FREE! Only if you promise to not
                                    break through the glass

                           Then equality for all became a given thing
                   and we pushed you to the margins as we put social change
                                  out of sight and out of mind
                   you ceased to be human in our eyes, and are seen only as
                                 pretty faces or objects of lust
                           while we boldly claim to have set you free

                      So here we are, living in a more just society than
                                     those of ages past
                   you've fought for change, and managed to damage the glass
                      and even though you are still not free, the world
                                 has seen what women can do
                      you've shown that you're strong enough to hold up
                                        half the world
                       and that beauty goes beyond having a pretty face
                                       or enticing lust
                   WE ARE BEAUTIFUL, WE ARE STRONG, WE DEMAND TO BE FREE!
                          and we'll be satisfied with nothing less
