My mama said he’d love me, right down to the bone
My mama said he’d hold me, and never let me go
But no more, no no more, no more
Why am I here to protect you
Here to defend you

No I don’t know no, no I don’t know
Why I’m here to perfect you

It’s a man’s world that where we are living in
And it’s careless and it’s cold
Our children will reap, reap what we sow
To every father and son
Every brother and friend
Bring this curse to an end
