We are ruled by our brothers

We are ruled by our husbands

We jump at the voices of our masters

And do what they say

We are bartered and traded
我们被交易
Along with cattle and cotton
与牲畜和棉花一起
We have to be beautiful

And it helps to have a dowery of some kind
并且最好有一些嫁妆
We have to show humility
我们必须表现出谦卑
And have the presence of mind
并且保持清醒的头脑
To never complain

And they say it's our fault

We were thrown out of eden
我们被逐出伊甸园
To be turned into salt
被化作盐柱
But there is a way back to paradise there is a way
但有一条路可以重返天堂 有一条路
Study all men learn what they lack
研究所有男人 了解他们的弱点
Sweeten and stroke before you attack
先温柔以待 再发动攻击
Put up a front and then slip through the back

Be on your way back to paradise

When we didn't need husbands husbands

Until the angels came to call

And on the wings of jealousy

And gave the garden to men ah

And put it out of our touch ah
让我们再也无法触及
We were thrown out of eden ah
我们被逐出了伊甸园啊
For knowing to much

Bide your time bide your time

When you look at a man when you look at a man

Look him straight in the eyes straight in the eyes
