If I Had A Girl

(álbum: The Sound And The Fury - 2015)

I'm a rock, I'm an island: I need no one to love me
At the end of the world, there'll be no man above me
I work the live long day, to do things my way
But if I had a girl, I would tell her this

Oh yeah, "no" means "no", but your skirt comes into question
That you ask for it, will be the whore's suggestion
You'll work the live long day, to take home half the pay
So if I had a girl, I would tell her this

You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster
Don't take no shit off no lord, no master
Don't listen when they see how far you've gone
Cos' you got to work and you raise the babies
And you work some more, now listen ladies
If you think we're done, we've only just begun

Well you go to school and they tell you that you're equal
But in the big wide world that just means half the people
And one thing you don't see, there ain't no dicks on page three
So if you have a girl, please remind her this

You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster
Don't take no shit off no lord, no master
Don't listen when they see how far you've gone
Cos' you got to work and you raise the babies
And you work some more, now listen ladies
If you think we're done, we've only just begun
If you think we're done, we've only just begun
And if you think we're done, we've only just begun

We've only got started
We've only got started
We've only got started
So far to go
So far to go

And if I wear my skirt short, don't mean I don't have a brain
And if cover myself from head to toe, don't mean that I'm in chains
I don't have to hate men, to know that life ain't fair
Now I see how far we've got to go, but I know, I know, I know... I will get there
