Woman Down

First woman down was your mother

She did condone how you behave

All you could see was your father

His disrespect was in her face

Next woman down was your sister

Her silence did corroborate

She took her cues from the climate

And never knew another way

Who do you take me for?

Calling all woman haters

We’ve lowered the bar on the

Behavior that we will take – come on now

Calling all lady haters

Why must you vilify us?

Are you willing to clean the slate? – woman down

Next woman down was your lover

She takes your spite at value face

Even her hair length and color

Gives you the impulse to repeat

Who do you take me for?

Calling all woman haters

We’ve lowered the bar on the

Behavior that we will take — come on now

Calling all lady haters

Why must you vilify us?

Are you willing to clean the slate? — woman down

Woman down

Next woman down is your daughter

A stranger to being debased

She has a new lease and limit

On the abuse she’ll tolerate

Who do you take me for?

Calling all woman haters

We’ve lowered the bar on the behavior that we will take — come on now

Calling all lady haters

Why must you vilify us

Are you willing to clean the slate? — woman down
