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
