| Lyrics |
Mary was a girl with a cause
She was simply fed up
Mary moved out to Berkleyand stuck pins in her face asa sort of statement against oppressionof her sex
Mary took a walk in the park with a sign in her hand
Mary threw a rock at a cop and man, she felt like a man
And you know the ugliness became her
But now she's gone- she couldn't take it anymore
And what's she won?
She won a husband who embodies everything she hatedand all her friends from years agoare selling stocks in IBM right now
Mary finally saw she couldn't change the world
But Mary often fondly looks back and
Pats herself on the backfor a convienent romanticized version ofthe facts of what she'd done
But she didn't change a goddamn singleone of the oppressive pigs who made herwhat she was- and the empowerment she feltwas just a crumb compared to all the butts of jokes
That she'd becomeand now she's at the kitchen table all aloneand she ended up exactly like her mom
