about
"Working for the Woman" is a kind of Men's Lib song. I'll accept it as a bit misogynistic if those who consider it so will also consider songs about abusive, power-mad men (I'm looking at you, Ani!) as misanthropic. Maybe we can all meet in the middle by saying that it sucks to work for a jerk, no matter what equipment they carry between the legs.
Til then, I'm proud of this songs that really hammers what it is that sucks about working for a lousy female boss, whether you're male or female: consensus-seeking instead of leadership, feelings over facts, invisible vindictiveness...etc etc...
And for men, especially, this all sort of blends in with a history of bossy moms, teachers, and wives.
Of course, it's understood that most of you gals are just peachy. There's just a few bad apples, that's all. Among the peaches.
lyrics
"Working for the Woman" [vonHummer]
May I say I hate working for the Woman? I hate working for the Woman, cos she’s batshit insane and it’s always the same: she’s wants to park in the passing lane, she wants to poke you when you’re feeling pain, she wants her refunds exchanged and everything pre-arranged to be re-arranged!
Working for the Woman all my life, working for the Woman before I can play, working for the Woman weekend and weekday, working for the Woman again, it’s the only thing that’s worse than working for the Man: working for the Woman!
I hate working for the Woman, I sure do! Aint no pleasing the Woman, why try to? Aint no explaining to the Woman, you’re speaking Urdu! She needs chocolate and yappin’ and shoppin’ and a good hard shag…hairdo…
May I say I hate working for the Woman? I hate working for the Woman! Yeah, equality’s fine, you got yours so why take mine? You can’t have your cake and call it “bread,” Give me a break or give me head, Take me as I am, No you can’t’ make me over like some ugly friend!
