Woman Down Lyrics

woman down

First woman down was your mother
She did condone how you behave
All you could see was your father
His disrespect was in her face

Next woman down was your sister
Her silence did corroborate
She took her cues from the climate
And never knew another way

Who do you take me for

Calling all woman haters
We’ve lowered the bar on the
Behavior that we will take –come on now
Calling all lady haters
Why must you vilify us
Are you willing to clean the slate? –woman down

Next woman down was your lover
She takes your spite at value face
Even her hair length and color
Gives you the impulse to repeat

Who do you take me for

Calling all woman haters
We’ve lowered the bar on the
Behavior that we will take—come on now
Calling all lady haters
Why must you vilify us
Are you willing to clean the slate?—woman down

Next woman down is your daughter
A stranger to being debased
She has a new lease and limit
On the abuse she’ll tolerate

Who do you take me for

Calling all woman haters
We’ve lowered the bar on the
behavior that we will take—come on now
Calling all lady haters
Why must you vilify us
Are you willing to clean the slate?—woman down

    Nice song to start the concert. I was surprised you are taking the microphone from the ground again! this is so-you. Dense chorus lyrics, straight from the heart.
    Can’t wait to listen the whole “Havoc” album.
    I wish you could replace I remain – part 1,2 and 3 for Pollyana Flower, part 1, 2 and 3 …

    Women: love each other… I am a woman and I hate how am automatically the enemy.. Most women are trapped in their own environment..and our hate for each other makes a rescue impossible.. so we look to get empowered from a wrong place.stop fighting over men.. There is plenty for everyone.. And if it makes u pit ur walls down.u can chose first
