We make her paint her face and dance
A E
If she won't be a slave we say that she don't love us
F#m D
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
G B
While putting her down we pretend that she's above us
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes, she is, if you don't believe me take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah yeah, better scream about it
Saxophone solo over chorus chords
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes, she is, if you don't believe me take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah, alright
Guitar solo over chorus chords
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
Oh well, woman is the nigger of the world
Yes, she is, if you don't believe me take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes, she is, if you believe me, you better scream about it
F#m D
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
