Versuri Make Them Apologize

 
my breast is cradled 
in the curve of my guitar 
I'm breaking strings 
and other things 
playing hard 
no I'm not on the rag 
but I'm not on the run 
I am matching the big boys 
one for one 
and I must admit, 
I'm having myself some fun 
 
because the music business 
is still run by men 
like every business 
and everything 
but we can sing like a sonofabitch 
make them twitch around their eyes 
make them apologize 
 
he had a mean streak 
three miles wide 
it was a long walk 
to the other side 
she tried to get through it 
holding on to her smile 
but he wasn't worth the time it takes 
to make that mistake 
he just wasn't worthwhile 
she's been under command 
of the wrong man 
and she'll give you everything 
except the upper hand 
she was his mother, and his lover, 
and his wife 
now she wants the luxury 
of her own life 
 
'cause the marriage business 
is still run by men 
like every business 
and every thing 
but she can sing like a sonofabitch 
make him twitch around his eyes 
girl, make him apologize 
 
they all want to lead the fight 
and they know what they know all right 
but there's so much 
they don't understand 
what about the other sex 
what about the other hand 
they only know what they've been told 
and they're well cast 
but they don't break the mold 
and good sources are not enough 
so she calls their bluff 
yeah, she calls their bluff 
 
'cause the revolution business 
is still run by men 
like every business 
and everything 
but we can sing like a sonofabitch 
make them twitch around their eyes 
until they realize 
they just don't realize
