Texty: John Lennon. Woman Is The Nigger Of The World.

Welcome to the rehearsal!
The next song is one of those many songs of ours that get banned.
It's something yoko said to me in 1968.
It took me till 1970 to dig it.

Okay!
One, two, three, four!

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 to say that she don't love us.
If she's real, we say she's tryin' to be a man,
while puttin' her down we pretend so hard 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,
oh yeah, if you believe me,
you'd better scream about it!

Uh-uh-uh -

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 to unworldly to be our friend.

Oh now, woman is the nigger of the world,
yeah!
If you believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Woman is the slave to the slave,
uh - yeah, you'd better scream about it!

Okay, tex!

We insult her ev'ry day on tv,
and wonder why she has no guts or confidence.
While puttin' her down for being dumb,
we put her down for being dumb, yeah!

Oh now, woman is the nigger of the world-orld,
oh yeah,
you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Woman she's the slave to the slaves,
oh yeah!
If you believe me, you better scream all about it!

Yeah!

We make her paint her face and dance!
We make her paint her face and dance!
Dance, dance, dance,
dance, dance, dance, dance.
We make her paint her face and dance!
