lyrics

You've read of liberation, suffrage, and the ones who risked their necks
But the men who write them history books are the same that sign your checks
I've seen your mop and bucket in the parlors of the rich
It seems that missing chromosome is worth its weight in shit

You played your office politics, got taken for a ride
But your boss has hairy knuckles and palms, and misogynistic pride
The months turn into quarters, and three quarters of the time
You only make three quarters of their dollars and their dimes

And I see Rosie driving rivets, but old Rosie's short on rent
Not far gone are days of breadlines, dust-bowls, and lament
You traded cuffs and aprons for a briefcase and a tie
Still, you make three quarters of their dollars and their dimes
