Woman is the nigger of the world
    A       A7         E       E
Yes she is,     think about it

Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it, do something about it                                fin: dernier E -> G A

  F♯m         F♯m           F♯m            D     
      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          F♯m               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, yeah

Couplets muets  w/ solo sax

  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 unworldy to be our friend

Oh woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is, if you don't believe me take a look at the one your with

Oh woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah, all right, hit it                                                    fin: E  E

Couplets muets  w/ solo

  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 your with

Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is, if you believe me you better scream about                      fin: E  E
