[00:11.83]It used to be a man’s world, but we didn’t treat it right
[00:17.65]It used to be a man’s world, but all we did was fight
[00:24.04]I’m glad it’s finally in the hands of the women and the girls
[00:29.50]I can’t wait to see what they do with what’s left of the world
[00:37.76]Ladies, I’m sorry, but we couldn’t seem to learn
[00:47.87]How to live in peace, so Rome had to burn
[00:53.61]And we cared about clean air, but there was money to be made
[00:59.78]And breathing’s nice, but it don’t compare with getting paid
[01:05.26]It used to be a man’s world, but we didn’t treat it right
[01:14.71]It used to be a man’s world, but all we did was fight
[01:20.83]I’m glad it’s finally in the hands of the women and the girls
[01:26.61]I can’t wait to see what they do with what’s left of the world
[01:34.57]Please, I beg your pardon, but we got a bit confused
[01:44.69]Some of our brothers thought our sisters were born for getting used
[01:49.39]Then we made the assumption that’s how it should be done
[01:56.59]Then tried to excuse ourselves in the name of fun
[02:02.32]Don’t get me wrong, hope ain’t fully gone
[02:08.33]Scores of decent men built the road I’m standing on
[02:13.99]But a lot of it has crumbled through prideful mistakes
[02:20.05]And ashes cover much of what the flooding didn’t take
[02:42.24]I know that we are giving you a lot to straighten out
[02:48.80]The silver lining broke away from the thunder cloud
[02:54.69]And it took us a few thousand years to make a mess so fine
[03:01.22]I bet y’all sort it out in less than half the time
[03:06.58]It used to be a man’s world, excess in the extreme
[03:13.15]Oh, it used to be a man’s world, but we ran out of steam
[03:19.22]We couldn’t seem to reach the grace that’s born in every girl
[03:25.01]Still, I hope that I can lend a hand in this new woman’s world
[03:32.92]Let me know if I can help out in this new woman’s world
