Banshee Moan

Well you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't
Trouble if you will, goes double if you won't
So you watch what you say, you watch what you do
You keep thinking someday they're gonna see real you
Sixty cents on the dollar, more than makes you want to holler
Attack your smarts until your numb, is how they make you feel dumb
You want to beat em to the punch, you want to trust every hunch
Because in the mirror there's a
Girl just trying to make it in the world

Woman weep like the wild winds wail
For your magdalene and your jezebel
Woman weep for your sisters gone
Let their names live on with a banshee moan

Then one day you turn a corner, find your doubt goes back burner
All dismissal implies, is where your sanity lies
So you've come through fire, you've set your sights higher
You've found a merciful moon, but not a moment too soon

Woman weep like the wild winds wail
For your magdalene and your jezebel
Woman weep for your sisters gone
Let their names live on with a banshee moan
