lyrics

Unfortunate Men
by Brenda Carsey

You’ve never felt like a piece of dead flesh that’s been
Poked and prodded
You’ve never been followed and chased like
You’re being haunted
And you’ve never been slapped and grabbed while
Just walking quietly
Just for breathing in the streets

Oh, you dear unfortunate men
We don’t think that you’ll ever understand
The true grace and beauty
Wisdom, humility,
Strength and magic
Of being a woman

You don’t know what it’s like to feel with
Every piece of your spirit
You don’t know what it’s like to be entered and
Have to take it
And you don’t know what it’s like to be called
A diva when you’re just certain
A bitch when you’re just assertive

Oh, you dear unfortunate men
We don’t think that you’ll ever understand
The true grace and beauty
Wisdom, humility,
Strength and magic
Of being a woman

You don’t know what it’s like to be able to
Connect with the moon
You don’t know what it’s like to feel
The pulling of the tides
And you don’t know what it’s like to be
The chosen fruit divine
The guardian of life
The guardian of life

Oh, you dear unfortunate men
We don’t think that you’ll ever understand
The true grace and beauty
Wisdom, humility,
Strength and magic
Of being a woman
Being a woman
Being a woman
