Caged Women
Caged Women, treated like cave women,
not by our men like long ago.
Caged women, treated like crazed women,
a power struggle only few women know.
Dominated to the fullness
Not a chance in hell to win
Degraded beyond comprehension
all faith and hope running thin.
Caged women, Screws try their best to keep you down
Crazed women, always walk with their eyes to the ground
"The chains" clankety clank clank,
Not just on our feet on our hearts
"The chains" Clankety clank clank
linking the human to human parts
"The chains" Clankety clank clank
Sounding out into empty space and time
Heavy on our waist, even heavier on our minds
"Dammed Chains!"
Caged women, can't take much more of this
Crazed women wondering why we take this --it
Caged women, thinking time for revolution
Crazed women, fighting back is the only solution
"The sticks" Bipperty bam bam
crash down upon your head
"The sticks" Bipperty bam bam
beat you till damm near dead
"The sticks" Bipperty bam bam
back into the dorms we flock
"The Sticks" Bipperty bipperty bang
will someone send for the Doc?
"Dammed Sticks!!!"
