It's A Man's World (Is This A Man's World)

Is this a man's world?

Is this a man's world?

It wouldn't be nothing, nothing

Without a woman in this world

You see, man made cars to take us over the roads

Man made the trains to carry heavy loads

Man made electric light to take us out of the dark

Man made boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

Is this a man's world?

Is this a man's world?

It wouldn't be nothing without a woman

Is this a man's world?

It wouldn't be nothing without a woman in this world

Man thinks about little baby girls and baby boys

Man makes them happy, 'cause man makes them toys

And after man's made everything, everything he can

You know that man makes money to buy from other man

Is this a man's world?

Is this, is this a man's world?

It wouldn't be nothing without a woman, oh

Is this a man's world?

It wouldn't be nothing, nothing, nothing

Without a woman in this world

Nothing without a woman in this world

Come send me on my way, woman

South Africa, home for the summer

This, this depression is only ink for these new beats

Teasing the tip of my stick shift dick, pick-tonguing me

Slow, baby girl, slow like these

Stars stretched light years beneath us

If we fall, we might break these wire

Strings and these blue chords she sings to me

I write poems because I'm trying to survive the thirties

Promising myself to write, if only to find the

Reason we have been thrown together like riffs

She has got to be beautiful in that room with no door

She has got to know how she moves the core of me

How she brings me back to revolution

Middle fingers rigid and pointed to the corporate sky

No need to ask me why I write anymore

I have been reminded I am nothing but a

Whore for women who feel as hard as they fuck

Duck and cover, girls, we are still at war

And I don't want to be hit by these cheap bullets
