Make Them Apologize Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Make Them Apologize Lyrics

    my breast is cradled
    in the curve of my guitar
    I'm breaking strings
    and other things
    playing hard
    no I'm not on the rag
    but I'm not on the run
    I am matching the big boys
    one for one
    and I must admit,
    I'm having myself some fun

    because the music business
    is still run by men
    like every business
    and everything
    but we can sing like a sonofabitch
    make them twitch around their eyes
    make them apologize

    he had a mean streak
    three miles wide
    it was a long walk
    to the other side
    she tried to get through it
    holding on to her smile
    but he wasn't worth the time it takes
    to make that mistake
    he just wasn't worthwhile
    she's been under command
    of the wrong man
    and she'll give you everything
    except the upper hand
    she was his mother, and his lover,
    and his wife
    now she wants the luxury
    of her own life

    'cause the marriage business
    is still run by men
    like every business
    and every thing
    but she can sing like a sonofabitch
    make him twitch around his eyes
    girl, make him apologize

    they all want to lead the fight
    and they know what they know all right
    but there's so much
    they don't understand
    what about the other sex
    what about the other hand
    they only know what they've been told
    and they're well cast
    but they don't break the mold
    and good sources are not enough
    so she calls their bluff
    yeah, she calls their bluff

    'cause the revolution business
    is still run by men
    like every business
    and everything
    but we can sing like a sonofabitch
    make them twitch around their eyes
    until they realize
    they just don't realize
