about

From 'Warhorse' (1998)

Feminism has taken many turns and split into many diverse and productive channels. But one channel holds the ones who are better than men at delivering the things that men used to deliver exclusively. These are indeed remarkable women. As for admirability... about as admirable as the men they've surpassed. They dress more expensively but. And there are still a lot of women they haven't taken along with them on the ride

lyrics

THE BATTLE OF THE SISTERS

She wandered alone in the courtyard
She thought of her love gone afar
Banished to wait, for she was just a woman
The tide of our times was astir
The rights of each side soon to blurr

And they suffered into suffrage
And the sisters carried on
Utterly against the odds
Still the sisters carried on
Through their liberation
The sisters seemed so strong
But none foresaw the turncoats
The shoulder pads and fur coats
None believed that it could happen to them
The turncoats proved better at being men
Than men, at being men
Better than men, at being men

She wanders alone in the unit
She thinks of her love on the rig
Banished to wait, for she is just a woman
The scream of the child flips her lid
The pressure, the bills and the kid

They have suffered through their suffrage
Yet the sisters carry on
Utterly against the odds
Still the sisters carry on
Through their liberation
The sisters seemed so strong
But none foresaw the turncoats
The shoulder pads and fur coats
None believed that it could happen to them
The turncoats proved better at being
Turncoats prove better at being
Turncoats prove better at being men
Than men, at being men

Better, than men, at being men
Better, than men, at being men
Better, than men, at being men
Better, than men, at being men
Better, than men, at being men
Better, than men, at being men
