It used to be a man’s world, but we didn’t treat it right It used to be a man’s world, but all we did was fight I’m glad it’s finally in the hands of the women and the girls I can’t wait to see what they do with what’s left of the world Ladies, I’m sorry, but we couldn’t seem to learn How to live in peace, so Rome had to burn And we cared about clean air, but there was money to be made And breathing is nice but it don’t compare to getting paid It used to be a man’s world, but we didn’t treat it right It used to be a man’s world, but all we did was fight I’m glad it’s finally in the hands of the women and the girls I can’t wait to see what they do with what’s left of the world Please I beg your pardon, but we got a bit confused Some of our brothers thought our sisters were born for getting used Then we made the assumption that’s how it should be done And then tried to excuse ourselves in the name of fun Don’t get me wrong, hope ain’t fully gone Scores of decent men built the rode I’m standing on Letras de cancionesBut a lot of it has crumbled through prideful mistakes And ashes cover much of what the flood he didn’t take I know that we are giving you a lot to straighten out, the silver lining broke away from the thunder cloud And it took us a few thousand years to make a mess so fine I bet y’all sort it out in less than half the time It used to be a man’s world, excess in the extreme It used to be a man’s world, but we ran out of steam We couldn’t seem to reach the grace that’s born in every girl Still I hope that I can lend a hand in this new woman’s world Let me know if I can help out, in this new woman’s world From Letras Mania
