79 Cents (The Meow Song) |
Whether she’s rich |
Or toiling in a ditch |
No matter the color of her collar |
The heart of your home |
Works her fingers to the bone |
For 79 cents to your dollar |
79 cents, 79 cents |
Woah, oh |
Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
It’s 79 cents to your dollar |
But if her skin is brown |
Her pay goes down |
It’s a nickel to the white man’s dime |
But don’t complain |
Or they’ll call you insane |
People call me «left-wing swine» |
Left-wing swine, left-wing swine |
Woah, oh |
Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
Where people call me left-wing swine |
And don’t forget |
Mama gets less |
It’s the motherhood penalty |
With a baby on her hip |
Office phone against her lip |
For a raise she’ll never see |
She’ll never see, she’ll never see |
Woah, oh |
Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
It’s a raise she’ll never see |
«Love it or leave it» |
Ad nauseam is repeated |
With fevered regurgitation |
It means «Bend over and take it |
If you don’t like it fake it |
For the sake of the male population» |
For the male population, the male population |
Woah, oh |
Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
It’s the great the male population |
So ladies, think twice |
If Uncle Sams seems nice |
You say he doesn’t mean it now |
But Mr. Status Quo |
Oh, don’t you know |
He’s grabbing us right in the «meow» |
Right in the «meow», right in the «meow» |
Woah, oh |
Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
He’s grabbing us right in the «meow» |
