Women of the World (Go On Strike!) lyrics
by Glen Hansard
[Intro]
United girls, united girls
Get united girls, united girls
Get united girls
[Hook]
What if the women of the world went on strike?
What if they finally decided to end this fight?
And because of your broken heart you have every right
What if the women of the world went on strike?
[Verse 1]
Honey come and hold my hand
Please forgive me, I'm only a man
Thought your silence meant you understood
But please don't give up for good (no)
[Pre-Hook]
Where I sat and I imagine
On every man that has a girl
If there was no more mothers and no more lovers
Nothing would be left, it scares me to death
[Hook]
What if the women of the world went on strike?
What if they finally decided to end this fight?
And because of your broken heart you have every right
What if the women of the world went on strike?
[Verse 2]
I'm a fool, I'm a fool, yes I know (yes I know)
The world ends as I know it, please don't go
I am so so ashamed and afraid (I'm so afraid)
Of the mess that we made
[Pre-Hook]
Where I sat and I imagine
Every man that has a girl
If there was no more mothers and no more lovers
Nothing would be left, it scares me to death
[Hook]
What if the women of the world went on strike?
What if they finally decided to end this fight?
And because of your broken heart you have every right
What if the women of the world went on strike?
[Bridge]
We know we lied and wasted time
We should have listened, ladies
Without love we could not live with it, without you
So talk to us, take us higher
Your love burns out of this fire
And you're the object of my desire
[Hook]
What if the women of the world went on strike?
What if they finally decided to end this fight?
And because of your broken heart you have every right
What if the women of the world went on strike?
[Outro]
United girls, united girls
Get united girls, united girls
Get united girls, united girls
Get united girls, united girls
