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!
