It's a man's luck
To get to play strong but be weak
And it's a woman's lot
I gotta play weak but be stronger
It's a wonder
That I ever learned how to speak
It's a wonder
If I'm hanging around here much longer
In this small-minded, big-mouthed
Well-read but half-dead government town
You can think that
But don't say it aloud
You can do that all you like
But you'd better not act too proud
We got standards
What is and what ain't allowed
Take that to heart or take it out
And if my life is a candle
Well, you know my tongue's a match
And if you wanna get catty about it
You know I start from scratch
One thing mama told me not to do
She said "Baby, don't ever suffer fools"
It's a goddamn waste of your time
It's a goddamn waste of your time
You take that politeness and I'll keep it with mine
Go out and get it with your mind
