Woman is the Nigger of the World

by John Lennon

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it

We make her paint her face and dance
If she won’t be slave, we say that she don’t love us
If she’s real, we say she’s trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she is above us

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don’t belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Ah yeah...better screem about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother then
We tell her home is the only place she would 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 belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yeah (think about it)

We insult her everyday 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

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don’t belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yes she is...if you belive me, you better screem about it.

We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance



Sisters, O Sisters

by Yoko Ono 

-"Male chauvinist pig engineer, ha! Ha!"
-"right on, sister!"

We lost our green land, we lost our clean air,
We lost our true wisdom and we live in despair.

O sisters, o sisters, let's stand up right now,
it's never too late to start from the start.
O wisdom, o wisdom, that's what we ask for,
and, yes, my dear sisters, we must learn to ask.

Wisdom, o wisdom, that's what we ask for,
that's what we live for no-oo-ow.
Wisdom, o wisdom, that's what we ask for,
that's what we live for no-oo-ow.

O sisters, o sisters, let's wake up right now,
it's never too late to shout from our hearts.
O freedom, o freedom, that's what we fight for,
and, yes, my dear sisters, we must learn to fight.

Freedom, o freedom, that's what we ask for,
that's what we live for no-oo-ow.
O freedom, o freedom, that's what we ask for,
that's what we live for no-oo-ow.

O sisters, o sisters, let's give up no more,
it's never too late to build a new world.
O new world, o new world, that's what we live for,
and, yes, my dear sisters, we must learn to live.

New world, o new world, that's what we live for,
that's what we must now learn to build.
O new world, o new world, that's what we live for,
that's what we must now learn to build.

New world, o new world, that's what we live for,
that's what we must now learn to build.
O new world, o new world, that's what we live for,
that's what we must now learn to build.
