For year after year we've stomached these views
Starvation can't compare with the 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 thos 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 only the strong survive
He'll survive with a hell of a tan
And cause it's a mans world is that why
The men
Shapped like an apple even easier to bruise
The world stepped forward but with holes in it's shoes
World leaders meed 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 thos 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 only the strong survive
He'll survive with a hell of a tan
And cause it's a mans 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 only the strong survive
He'll survive with a hell of a tan
And cause it's a mans world is that why
The men
