| It used to be a man’s world, but we didn’t treat it right
|
| It used to be a man’s world, but all we did was fight
|
| I’m glad it’s finally in the hands of the women and the girls
|
| I can’t wait to see what they do with what’s left of the world
|
| Ladies, I’m sorry, but we couldn’t seem to learn
|
| How to live in peace, so Rome had to burn
|
| And we cared about clean air, but there was money to be made
|
| And breathing’s nice, but it don’t compare with getting paid
|
| It used to be a man’s world, but we didn’t treat it right
|
| It used to be a man’s world, but all we did was fight
|
| I’m glad it’s finally in the hands of the women and the girls
|
| I can’t wait to see what they do with what’s left of the world
|
| Please, I beg your pardon, but we got a bit confused
|
| Some of our brothers thought our sisters were born for getting used
|
| Then we made the assumption that’s how it should be done
|
| Then tried to excuse ourselves in the name of fun
|
| Don’t get me wrong, hope ain’t fully gone
|
| Scores of decent men built the road I’m standing on
|
| But a lot of it has crumbled through prideful mistakes
|
| And ashes cover much of what the flooding didn’t take
|
| I know that we are giving you a lot to straighten out
|
| The silver lining broke away from the thunder cloud
|
| And it took us a few thousand years to make a mess so fine
|
| I bet y’all sort it out in less than half the time
|
| It used to be a man’s world, excess in the extreme
|
| Oh, it used to be a man’s world, but we ran out of steam
|
| We couldn’t seem to reach the grace that’s born in every girl
|
| Still, I hope that I can lend a hand in this new woman’s world
|
| Let me know if I can help out in this new woman’s world |
