Man's World

For year after year we've stomached these views
Starvation can't compete with royalty's cruise
The world's not dying, it's just singing the blues
It might be our turn to read the news

When it's our turn on the News at Ten
Lives'll be back above inflation again
Give a platform for the unemployed views
You don't beat recession forming orderly queues

So if the world's just one big onion
Is that what's making half of us cry?
And those rich enough to fly into space
Are happy just to watch it fry

And 'cause it's a man's world
Is that why the men
Are trying to narrow it down
To just the one man?

'Cause if it's true that the strong survive
He'll survive with a hell of a tan
And 'cause it's a man's world
Is that why the men

Shaped like an apple, even easier to bruise
The world stepped forward but with holes in it's shoes
World leaders meet, decide who to accuse
It may be our turn to read the news

So if the world's just one big onion
Is that what's making half of us cry?
And those rich enough to fly into space
Are happy just to watch it fry

And 'cause it's a man's world
Is that why the men (That why the men)
Are trying to narrow it down
To just the one man? (To just the one, one man)

'Cause if it's true that the strong survive
He'll survive with a hell of a tan
And 'cause it's a man's world
Is that why the men

The only thing that we wouldn't touch at all
Is we'd let you keep your shitty little weather report
So little clouds placed with occasional showers
Would be all that you'd have to remind you of power

And 'cause it's a man's world
Is that why the men
Are trying to narrow it down
To just the one man?

'Cause if it's true that the strong survive
He'll survive with a hell of a tan
And 'cause it's a man's world
Is that why the men

'Cause if it's true that the strong survive
He'll survive with a hell of a tan
And 'cause it's a man's world
Is that why the men

'Cause it's a man's, man's world
