A woman goes to work
Her boss thinks she’s his perk
‘Cos he’s your average ****
But he might as well be “Blerk”
He knows she’s gotta live
Besides what’s the alternative?
But some of you say ****
Why don’t she just quit

But she’s under the gun
So it’s easier said than done
She doesn’t work for fun
Her household must be run
It’s between a rock and a hard place
She finds herself, in any case
Caught in a dilemma
So her options are seeming slimmer

See the choice she could choose
Some of you might well refuse
But walk a mile inside her shoes
Before you decide to accuse
Her of making bad decisions
Don’t be guilty of divisions
The only way that you can fight it
Is to remain united

Women who’ve been through
This situation, say "Me too!"
Like no one ever knew
Or had the slightest clue
As to what’s been going on
Even though it’s very wrong
It's gonna stop, at least we’re hoping
Now that it’s out in the open
