lyrics

Glass Ceiling


Verse:
Woman from the North:
They always promised us more power
We were silly enough to believe it
Devaluated or hard labor
We misunderstood
The idea of womanhood

Woman from the South:
We can’t develop our talents
We cannot work or even study
Still we’re a lot more than mere mothers and wives

Chorus:
Woman from the South or North:
You sell us freedom but it’s fake
Cause we just give and never take
We raise our families but you
Consider that insignificant too

Verse:
Woman from the South:
We have no right to choose at all
Woman from the North:
So our choices are no real choices
Woman from the South:
But we prefer to live in freedom

Chorus:
Woman from the North:
The American dream is dead
They won’t let us get ahead
In the boardrooms they ignore us
While we’ve got so much to discuss

Bridge:
Woman from the Past:
We had to bear so many children
And give our men all that they need
Women from the South, North and Past:
Us women make more working hours than men
And our wages are much lower than theirs
