"Society Hook" lyrics

"Society Hook"

Gimme a woman
With brass knuckles in her purse
Gimme a widow
Who drinks whiskey in the hearse
Gimme a poet with a pinup disposition
Gimme a lady who won't hesitate to kick somebody's teeth in

Gimme that woman with a dirty word
"Jab"
And a mean society hook

Gimme a woman
Who says everything she feels
Gimme a goddess
Who reads Hemingway in heels
Gimme an optimistic anarchistic killer
Gimme a lady who won't hesitate to teach me how to thrill her

Gimme that woman with a dirty word
"Jab"
And a mean society hook

Let's me bare witness to her darkness when she's mourning
And when she's threatened, goes to war without a warning
Let's me bare witness to her darkness when she's mourning
And when she's threatened, she'll go to war
She'll go to war
She'll go to war
She'll go to war
She'll go to war without a warning

And gimme a soldier
Who takes everything she needs
Gimme a heathen
Who holds heaven in her teeth

Gimme a guts and swagger, broken dagger-ella
Gimme a heavy bottle, anti-patriarcho-fortune teller

Gimme that woman with a dirty word
"Jab"
And a mean, mean, mean, mean society hook
