D Am
Early in the morning I feel my pillow
C G D
I listen to the soundless phone
Am
My thoughts are sweaty, freezing inside
C G D Dm
Our bed's empty as ever
Am
What a bastard you are
G D
Leaving me all night missing you
D Am
Slowly the door opens, you stand for a while
C G D
See if I'm asleep or just closing my eyes
Am
I quickly get up and throw my pillows
C G D
Throw an ashtray filled with butts
C G
Where were you all night if I may ask you so?
Am G
Though I don't care at all, I'd just like to know
C
Right! you weren't near the phone to call me from
G
Or is it you were afraid to wake me up?
Am G
I'm sick and tired of listening to the same old crap
C Bm
You know half the world is occupied with you pigs
C G
I can always get another pig like you
C Bm
You've heard of female liberation, well, that's for me
C G
You'll see me walk out one day and then where will you be?
C
But don't you be too happy
Bm
I ain't walking out yet to give you satisfaction
C
I'm first gonna find something other than the walls
G
To have some human conversation
C Bm
Then I'll glow, I'll be happy inside, my limbs will relax
C G
And I can walk out into the world, singing with my people
C Bm
But now I couldn't even move my muscles to go near the door
C G
I've been sitting here too long and my legs are numb
C Bm
Are you listening, you jerk, you pig, you bastard
Am G
You scum of the earth, you good for nothing?
C
Are you listening?
G
Oh, don't go, don't go, please, don't go
C G
I didn't mean it, i'm just in pain
E
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Bm
The door is closed, she's left alone
D A E
Making herself a breakfast
Bm
Her hands are shaking, her eyes looking out
D A E Em
Watching the trees grow day by day
Bm
What a bastard the world is
A E
Taking my man away from me
A E
Taking the world away from me
B
Female lib is nice for Joan of Arc
C#m G#m
But it's a long, long way for Terry and Jill
E B
Most of us were taught not to shout our will
C#m G#m
Few of us are encouraged to get a job for skill
E G#m A E
And all of us live under the mercy of male society
F#m G#m B E
Thinking that their want is our need
