Times Change - Bosses Don't


A dog stares into a gramophone trumpet, waits for its call to action
Mute and obedient; standing to attention
Look a little closer: the dog is a woman
She's working under a system that she can't understand
Trapped inside a world of labour and heat
So that she and her children will be able to eat
The trumpet is patriarchy, it's old and fixed
Where poor men are lured by the desire to be rich
Where the limited power is still given to men
Where development aid is so wastefully spent
Where western education enforces this crap
Where women work in the open - yet live in a trap
There's one solution, and this is it:
The dog leaps on the gramophone and has a shit.
