Women In Chains

MARY WEARS A RED DRESS EVERY NIGHT
HER OFFICE IS A CORNER LIGHT
WORKIN' FOR THE MAN
WHO KEEPS HER IN HER PLACE
WORKIN' LATE

SISTER SECRETARY SWEATS ALL DAY
UNDERNEATH THE BOSSES THUMB
GOTTA SEE HIM AFTER HOURS FOR A RAISE
WHAT A SHAME

WE GOT OUR WOMEN IN CHAINS
WOMEN IN CHAINS
WHAT GOOD ARE WOMEN IN CHAINS
ISN'T IT STRANGE
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TA CHANGE
WE GOT OUR WOMEN IN CHAINS

SUZIE MOTHER HOUSEWIFE SCRUBS THE FLOOR
ALWAYS DRIVES THE KIDS TA SCHOOL
NEVER KEEPS HER HUSBAND WAITING FOR A MEAL
SUCH A DEAL

HE GOES ON A BENDER SHE STAYS HOME
WAITIN' FOR ANOTHER FIGHT
THE BRUISES IN THE BEDROOM MIRROR NEVER FADE
SHE'S AFRAID

WE GOT OUR WOMEN IN CHAINS
WOMEN IN CHAINS
WHAT GOOD ARE WOMEN IN CHAINS
ISN'T IT STRANGE
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TA CHANGE
WE GOT OUR WOMEN IN CHAINS

YOU DON'T HAVE TA WEAR YOUR CUFFS TONIGHT
YOU DON'T HAVE TA BE A SLAVE
YOU DON'T HAVE TA BUY YOUR FREEDOM WITH YOUR PAIN
IT'S INSAME

WE GOT OUR WOMEN IN CHAINS
WOMEN IN CHAINS
WHAT GOOD ARE WOMEN IN CHAINS
  is it for you
ISN'T IT STRANGE
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO CHANGE

WE GOT OUR WOMEN IN CHAINS
WOMEN IN CHAINS
WHAT GOOD ARE WOMEN IN CHAINS
ISN'T IT STRANGE
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TA CHANGE
WE GOT OUR WOMEN IN CHAINS
