The Sins of Eve
Men & women have nothing in common,I'm told.
He was raised to believe in that lie.
Conditioned into suppressing his tears.
As an infant,he was allowed to cry.
A history I refuse to believe.
Born with the curse on all women.
I'm paying for the sins of Eve.
Judged for my body instead of my mind.
I overcame lies told by an ex lover.
Described as a vixen,rather than kind.
I won't be enslaved by another.
A history I refuse to believe.
Born with the curse on all women.
I'm paying for the sins of Eve.
When I defended the meek.
He said my emotions were haywire.
Making my views appear to be weak.
He says I'm inferior,he is a liar.
A history I refuse to believe.
Born with the curse on all women.
I'm paying for the sins of Eve.
