Generation after generation
Women are born
Third class citizens
Probably further down
The food chain
Depending on ones
Race, color, creed
And sexual orientation
Still they press forward
In a male oppressed world
Where women get the care jobs
While the boys
Play with their toys
Destroying all their mothers
Fought so hard to raise
A decent man they say
Is hard to find
So in a crazy world
The losers win most of the time
But, in the end
After more than her share
Of disappointments
She realises the guy
She never paid no mind
Was a decent guy all along
Now she thinks back
To when her mother
Told her so
And smiles
Trying to make a better world
Remembering the life lessons
Of our mothers
