lyrics

It's been five thousand years since women been down
And the day has finally come - we're gonna turn things around
Let me tell you, friend, our patience is at an end
Look out, you better look out; women on the rise

We've been doing as we've been told for far too long
Lanquishing in our place; now don't you know that's wrong
We've been taught to smile and how to please
But from now on we'll stay off our knees
Look out, you better look out; women on the rise

You know we're gonna have that ERA
It's a matter of time and will
Our bodies will belong to us some day
We're gonna defeat every anti-bill

That pink collar ghetto will be no more
We'll be paid what we are worth; we'll open every door
You've had your turn, boys, I declare
From this day forward be prepared to share
Look out. you better look out; women on the rise

We're gonna see the system change, I swear
We're gonna raise our children free
And women will get their rightful share of Social Security

Now insurance rates and pensions ain't been fair
Plus we're tired of being out there working without good child care
And those homophobic and racist folks
Are gonna have to give up their jokes
Look out, you better look out, women on the rise

The gender gap is gonna operate
Reagan and friends, we're seal your fate
Look out, you better look out; look out, you better look out
Look out, you better look out, women on the rise
