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 son of a bitch

Make them twitch around their eyes

Make them apologize

Oh, 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 worth the while

She's been under command

Of the wrong man

Now she'll give you anything

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 everything

But she can sing like a son of a bitch

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, 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, 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 son of a bitch

Make them twitch around their eyes

Until they realize

They just don't realize
