We work our fingers to the bone For a pitiful paycheck. Our clothes smell of chlorine and bleach. We stay up all hours to study. Our futures are bought with our sweat. Women like us don't wait around. No time to be idealistic. Sure, we dream of a better life. But we're not afraid of the means To our ends. Women like us have ***** hands.

Women Like Us
We work our fingers to the bone For a pitiful paycheck. Our clothes smell of chlorine and bleach. We stay up all hours to study. Our futures are bought with our sweat. Women like us don't wait around. No time to be idealistic. Sure, we dream of a better life. But we're not afraid of the means To our ends. Women like us have ***** hands.
