"Woman's World" lyrics

"Woman's World"

Every day she tells her daughter
"Baby you're not just a pretty face"
She says, "You gotta work much harder
Than every single man, it's just the way"

But she goes to the same job every day
She's overworked and underpaid
Just 'cause the way her body's made
Ain't that insane?

If you never been told how you gotta be
What you gotta wear, how you gotta speak
If you never shouted to be heard
You ain't lived in a woman's world
And if you can't see that it's gotta change
Only want the body but not the brains
If you think that's the way it works
You ain't lived in a woman's world

No, no (Try livin', try try livin')
Oh, no (Try livin', try try livin')
Oh (In a woman's world)
Try livin' in a woman's world

Every night she tells her daughter
"Don't you know a change is gonna come"
There's a whisper in the water
And I know the tide is gonna turn
No, no, no

But she goes to the same job every day
She's overworked and underpaid
Just 'cause the way her body's made
Ain't that insane?

If you never been told how you gotta be
What you gotta wear, how you gotta speak
If you never shouted to be heard
You ain't lived in a woman's world
And if you can't see that it's gotta change
Only want the body but not the brains
If you really think that's the way it works
You ain't lived in a woman's world

Just look at how far that we've got
And don't think that we'll ever stop
This ain't the way it's gotta be
No, this ain't the way it's got to be, oh
Know that there will be a day
When everyone's treated the same
It's the only way it's got to be
It's the only way it's got to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah

If you never been told how you gotta be
What you gotta wear, how you gotta speak
If you never shouted to be heard
You ain't lived in a woman's world
And if you can't see that it's gotta change
Only want the body but not the brains
If you really think that's the way it works
You ain't lived in a woman's world

You ain't (Try livin', try try livin')
Try livin' in a woman's world (Try livin', try try livin')
In a woman's, a woman's world
(Try livin', try try livin')
Try livin', yeah, oh (Try livin', try try livin')
In a woman's, a woman's world

(Try livin', try try livin')
You got to try (Try livin', try try livin')
Try, in a woman's, a woman's world

Jade said in an interview for Vice magazine, "...we wrote this song when the whole #MeToo movement was coming about. You know… I was so angry about what was going on. It was important to write it with Jez, who's a man. It holds an important message. We haven't written anything that's too controversial before, and now we're starting to write things that are slightly more honest."
