So you wanna be a woman?
So you wanna be a woman?
Step right in to the fire
They'll hand you crowns of sacrifice
And silence your choir
You'll nurse the whole wide nation
While they throw sticks and stones
When they write the history books
They'll leave your name alone
Shake it, twirl, twirk,
Show me what got
Smile!
Not to sweet, strong, or hot
Shake it, twirl, twirk,
Show me what got
Smile!
Not to sweet, strong, or hot
Raise her when you need her
Erase her when your done
The burden and the miracle
The daughter and the gun
So you wanna be a woman?
So you wanna be a woman?
Your rage must wear a ribbon
Your protest must dress in pearls
'cause they like their revolution softer than the girls
They'll use your womb for politics
Your body as a stage
They'll hail you as a matriarch but never let you age
Shake it, twirl, twirk,
Show me what got
Smile!
Not to sweet, strong, or hot
Shake it, twirl, twirk,
Show me what got
Smile!
Not to sweet, strong, or hot
Raise her when you need her
Erase her when your done
The burden and the miracle
The daughter and the gun
Who wants to be a woman?
Who wants to be a woman?
Blame her for the hunger
Blame her for the war
Blame her when the empire
Comes crashing at your door
Woman!
Nobody tells you it will be this hard
Nobody tells you it will be this hard
Nobody tells you how much you'll
Bleed, bleed, bleed
And not just when the moon shines
