Make Them Apologize — текст песни (Ani Difranco)

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
