Make Them Apologize

my breast is cradled
 in the curve of my guitar
 i'm breaking strings
 and other things
 playing hard
 no i'm not on the rag
 but i'm not on the run
 i am matching the big boys
 one for one
 and i must admit,
 i'm having myself some fun
 because the music business
 is still run by men
 like every business
 and everything
 but we can sing like a sonofabitch
 make them twitch around their eyes
 make them apologize
 he had a mean streak
 three miles wide
 it was a long walk
 to the other side
 she tried to get through it
 holding on to her smile
 but he wasn't worth the time it takes
 to make that mistake
 he just wasn't worthwhile
 she's been under command
 of the wrong man
 and she'll give you everything
 except the upper hand
 she was his mother, and his lover,
 and his wife
 now she wants the luxury
 of her own life
 'cause the marriage business
 is still run by men
 like every business
 and every thing
 but she can sing like a sonofabitch
 make him twitch around his eyes
 girl, make him apologize
 they all want to lead the fight
 and they know what they know all right
 but there's so much
 they don't understand
 what about the other sex
 what about the other hand
 they only know what they've been told
 and they're well cast
 but they don't break the mold
 and good sources are not enough
 so she calls their bluff
 yeah, she calls their bluff
 'cause the revolution business
 is still run by men
 like every business
 and everything
 but we can sing like a sonofabitch
 make them twitch around their eyes
 until they realize
 they just don't realize
