Christ, creeping Jesus, man-made, not to please us
God, why a father? God damn if it's not her
It's a man's world, can't you see them tighten their hold on you?
And they're no good, all they want to do is to get it from you
It's a man's world, all the chains around from your brains to your knees
And they free us, oh whenever there is a man to please

So stop, keep your mind fixed, don't you fall for those tricks
Men out to trap you with nothing they can give you
It's a man's world, although they've cried when they offer a job to you
And the chance is that the pay you get will be less than theirs too
They say we'rе free now, all around, they hold on tight to their seats
And rеstrict us, afraid that we might have them beat

So sing to your freedom, make sure that you don't dream
Praise be to Mary, mother earth for the woman free
It's a man's world, can't you see them tighten their hold on you?
And they're no good, all they want to do is to get it from you
It's a man's world, all the chains around from your brains to your knees
And they free us, oh whenever there is a man to please

Oh Christ, creeping Jesus, man-made, not to please us
God, why a father? God damn if it's not her
It's a man's world, although they've cried when they offer a job to you
And the chance is that the pay you get will be less than theirs too
They say we're free now but all around, they hold on tight to their seats
And restrict us, afraid that we might have them beat
