Hymn to Valerie Solanas

Linda Hoyle


Christ Creeping Jesus
Man-made not to please us

God, why a father?
God damned if it's not her

It's a man's world
Can't you see them
Tighten their hold on you

They're no good
All they want to do is to get from you
It's a man's world

All the chains around from your brains to your knees
Then they free us whenever there is a man to please

So stop. Keep your mind fixed
Don't you fall for those tricks

Men out to trap you
With nothing they can give you
I'ts man's world
Though the cried when they offer a job to you
And the chance is that the pay you get will be less than
theis too

They say that were free know
All round they hold on tight to their seats and restrict us
Afraid that we might have them beat

So sing to your freedom
Make sure that you don't dream

Praise be to Mary
Mother earth for women free
It's a man's world

Can't you see them tighten their hold on you and they're
no good all they want to do is get it from you
It's a man's world
All the chain's around from your brains to your knees
They free us
Whenever there is a man to please
So Christ Creeping Jesus
Man made not to please us
God - why father
God damn if it's not her it's a man's world.
