"Man's World" lyrics

MARINA Lyrics

"Man's World"

Cheeks are rosy like a Boucher cherub
I'm a strawberry soda
Raise my lashes to heaven
Stars in my hair running like a waterfall
Clouds in the whites of our eyes, we saw it all
Burnt me at the stake
You thought I was a witch, centuries ago
Now you just call me a bitch

Mother nature's dying
Nobody's keeping score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
Anymore

Marilyn's bungalow it's number seven
In the pink palace where men made her legend
Owned by a sheik who killed thousands of gay men
I guess that's why he bought the campest hotel in LA then

Mother nature's dying
Nobody's keeping score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore

If you have a mother, daughter or a friend
Maybe it is time, time you comprehend
The world that you live in
Ain't the same one as them
So don't punish me for not being a man

Spring appears when the time is right
Women are violets coming to light
Don't underestimate the making of life
The planet has a funny way of stopping a fight

Mother nature's dying
Nobody's keeping score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore

If you have a mother, daughter or a friend
Maybe it is time, time you comprehend
The world that you live in
Ain't the same one as them
So don't punish me 'cause I'm not a man
So don't punish me 'cause I'm not a man
'Cause I'm not a man

"Man's World" is the first single from MARINA fifth studio album. The song was premiered on November 20, 2020, accompanied by a music video directed by Alexandra Gavillet and filmed in the Simi Valley desert.
Marina explained to Vogue in a November 2020 article, "The original idea for the song was to write a snapshot of how women and LGBTQ+ individuals have been subjugated and discriminated against throughout history going back to the Salem witch trials, where any person who was deemed abnormal or slightly alternative was singled out. Those kinds of patterns are still present in society. That’s something inspiring to me and worth writing about."
This song was produced by Jenn Decilveo (Bat for Lashes, Hinds) and engineered by Emily Lazar (Sia, Clairo).
