A Woman's Place (Is in the Struggle)
Barefoot and pregnant with a baby in each arm |
| No need to go to work, at home we'll be kept safe from harm |
| And don't stop there, how about we go right back to the cave, |
| Where a woman's only purpose was the loyal family slave. |
Well, your cavemanic fantasy to control half of humanity |
| Doesn't fit with my reality |
| 'Cause a woman's intuition lets her know her rightful position, |
| So listen closely while I tell you what that rightful place should be... |
Chorus: |
| A woman's place is in the struggle, its really not hard to see |
| A woman's place is in the struggle, and that's the place for me |
| I may not hold a baby in my arms, and I don't care if my kitchen's clean |
| But it's my choice, so hear me raising my voice |
| Because the struggle is the place for me! |
So now you want to send us back in time |
| Where you control our bodies and control our minds |
| But as its always been and it will always be |
| Women will keep fighting till the day we are free |
Chorus: |
| A woman's place is in the struggle, its really not hard to see |
| A woman's place is in the struggle, and that's the place for me |
| If I hold a baby in my arms, and if I wanna keep my kitchen clean |
| Iit's my choice, but hear me raising my voice |
| Because the struggle is the place for me! |
We mean it when we all say never again |
| We won't allow women's fate to be controlled by a man |
| We've suffered before and we will never forget |
| So hear our voices and keep your hands to yourself! |
| Chorus: |
So now you want to control everything under the sun |
| And take the freedoms we have fought for and the things we have won |
| Don't you ever try to say you know whats best for me |
| Cause I'll bet you half of the world is gonna disagree |
| Chorus: |
| We won't accept defeat we'll keep on marching in the streets |
| Because the struggle is the place for me! |
