Man’s World

Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] For year after year we've stomached these views Starvation can't compete with royalty's cruise The world's not dying, it's just singing the blues It might be our turn to read the news When it's our turn on the News at Ten Lives'll be back above inflation again Give a platform for the unemployed views You don't beat recession forming orderly queues [Pre-Chorus] So if the world's just one big onion Is that what's making half of us cry? And those rich enough to fly into space Are happy just to watch it fry [Chorus 1] And 'cause it's a man's world Is that why the men Are trying to narrow it down To just the one man? 'Cause if it's true that the strong survive He'll survive with a hell of a tan And 'cause it's a man's world Is that why the men [Verse 2] Shaped like an apple, even easier to bruise The world stepped forward but with holes in it's shoes World leaders meet, decide who to accuse It may be our turn to read the news [Pre-Chorus] So if the world's just one big onion Is that what's making half of us cry? And those rich enough to fly into space Are happy just to watch it fry [Chorus 2] And 'cause it's a man's world Is that why the men (That why the men) Are trying to narrow it down To just the one man? (To just the one, one man) 'Cause if it's true that the strong survive He'll survive with a hell of a tan And 'cause it's a man's world Is that why the men [Bridge] The only thing that we wouldn't touch at all Is we'd let you keep your shitty little weather report So little clouds placed with occasional showers Would be all that you'd have to remind you of power [Chorus 1] And 'cause it's a man's world Is that why the men Are trying to narrow it down To just the one man? 'Cause if it's true that the strong survive He'll survive with a hell of a tan And 'cause it's a man's world Is that why the men [Outro] 'Cause if it's true that the strong survive He'll survive with a hell of a tan And 'cause it's a man's world Is that why the men 'Cause it's a man's, man's world...
