lyrics

WHEN IT WAS DONE
NO ONE COULD HELP
HER ONLY FAULT WAS
TO BE BORN A GIRL.
TAUGHT BY HER DADDY
TO STAY AT HOME
TO SERVE HIM DINNER
WHEN IT WAS NINE O´CLOCK

YOU MUST DO LAUNDRY
SEW ALL THE TORN-CLOTHES
THESE ARE THE RULES
KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED
MUMMY JUST TOLD ME
HOW TO BEHAVE
KNEEL DOWN IN SILENCE
THE LESSON I LEARNT

WHEN SHE WAS GONE
NOTHING HAS CHANGED
THE WALLS AROUND HER
OPPRESSED HER PAIN
TOLD BY HER HUSBAND
TO STAY AT HOME
TO MAKE HIM LOVE
AFTER COMING FROM WORK

THE YEARS WENT BY MY BODY
STOPPED TO GROW UP OLD, ADULT
THEY WANT ME TO BECOME
ANOTHER MAN´ S ADORNMENT
MY FATE WAS BEING CONTROLLED
AND I IMPRISONED COULDNT ESCAPE
A HEADSTONE CARVED INSIDE THE
WEDDING RING HE GAVE ME

HER CHILDHOOD WENT BY AS
THE BLOOD OF HER VEINS
RUNNING INSIDE
GROWING IN RAGE
IF YOU WANTED TO
BE A GOOD WIFE
SUBMISSION AND GLORY
WOULD BE LEFT ASIDE

YOU MUST DO LAUNDRY
SEW ALL THE TORN-CLOTHES
THESE ARE THE RULES
KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED.
NOBODY TAUGHT ME
HOW COULD I ESCAPE
KNEEL DOWN IN SILENCE
THE LESSON I LEARNT

HER CHILDHOOD WENT BY AS
THE BLOOD OF HER VEINS
RUNNING INSIDE
GROWING IN RAGE
IF YOU WANTED TO
BE A GOOD WIFE
SUBMISSION AND GLORY
WOULD BE LEFT ASIDE
