Paroles de The Night to Vote

Thank you, sirs
For the right to vote
Bet you didn't know
I had a voice in my throat
Now let's see
Should I vote for A or B
A talks a lot
But not to me
And B wants war
Kill or flunk?
Forget the vote
I'll just go out and get drunk

They say a woman?s place
Is to wait and serve
Under the veil
Submissive and dear
But I think my place
Is in a ship from space
To carry me
The hell out of here

Patriarchal great religions
Full of angels
Forgiving and fair
While they push the buttons They say a woman?s place
Is to wait and serve
Under the veil
Submissive and dear
But I think my place
Is in a ship from space
To carry me
The hell out of here

All the colors in a race riot
In the land of the free
All the women are on a diet
I'm hungry
Are you hungry
For peace and quiet?

So thank you, sirs
For the right to vote
The microwave
And the old mink coat
Now let's see
Should I vote for A or B
A talks a lot
But not to me
And B wants war
Kill or flunk?
Forget the vote
I'll just go out and get drunk

They say a woman's place...
