You cut her wings And there she fell Condemned to hell The pain inflamed She cursed your name Cause your love was to blame She cooked and cleaned She sexed like a slave She disciplined the children Till they were well behaved And all the while The feathers fell Withered roots That once held her aloft Were sheared completely off She did your laundry Took your abuse She left her dreams behind While you chased yours You bled her of her spirit Cracked the open wounds And left the poison in it Till she came to believe That she never ever even had wings Then she passed her winglessness on To her daughters And her granddaughters Now generations of wingless women Have barely even began To find their feathers Look up and try to fly again Thanks to the wicked ways Of you so called modern men

Wingless
You cut her wings And there she fell Condemned to hell The pain inflamed She cursed your name Cause your love was to blame She cooked and cleaned She sexed like a slave She disciplined the children Till they were well behaved And all the while The feathers fell Withered roots That once held her aloft Were sheared completely off She did your laundry Took your abuse She left her dreams behind While you chased yours You bled her of her spirit Cracked the open wounds And left the poison in it Till she came to believe That she never ever even had wings Then she passed her winglessness on To her daughters And her granddaughters Now generations of wingless women Have barely even began To find their feathers Look up and try to fly again Thanks to the wicked ways Of you so called modern men
