Woman Is The Nigger Of The World

John Lennon - Woman Is The Nigger Of The World

(co-composed with Yoko Ono)

 

Woman is the nigger of the world

Yes, she is think about it

Woman is the nigger of the world

Think about it, do something about it

 

We make her paint her face and dance

If she won't be a slave we say that she don't love us

If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man

While putting her down we pretend that she's above us

Woman is the nigger of the world

Yes, she is, if you don't believe me take a look at the one you're with

Woman is the slave of the slaves

Ah yeah, better scream about it

Saxophone solo over chorus chords

We make her bear and raise our children

And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen

We tell her home is the only place she should be

Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of the world

Yes, she is, if you don't believe me take a look at the one you're with

Woman is the slave to the slaves

Yeah, alright

Guitar solo over chorus chords

We insult her every day on TV

And wonder why she has no guts or confidence

When she's young we kill her will to be free

While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb

Oh well, woman is the nigger of the world

Yes, she is, if you don't believe me take a look at the one you're with

Woman is the slave to the slaves

Yes, she is, if you believe me, you better scream about it

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance
