lyrics

All the tough girls with the dip dye jobs
Smoking cigarettes in parking lots
Top of the hill, overlooking
High tension power lines are cooking

Tough girls, you've gotta give it more

All the women with temp to perm jobs
Coming home to ungrateful slobs
Working twice as hard for half the pay
Eating lunch at meetings mid day
Running faster than the boys
Just to keep up
At a drawback
From the time they wake up

And to the women who held on to bad men
Pieces of shit who didn't deserve them
Dreaming of floating up
And over the sprawl
Knowing for sure
That they're better than it all
