THE LYRICS:
Waving flags of black and blue
On the star-spangled eye she got from you
She hopes you won't be home tonight
Kicked around in the home of the brave
Where a man is power
And a woman's his slave
She hopes you won't be home tonightChorus:
This woman needs
She's gonna take her life back from you
This woman bleeds
She's gonna take her body away from youIn this land of misogyny
Wipe her eyes with your fatigues
And say oh can you see
Well of course she can't
You smashed all of the lights
See your rocket red eyes glare
Proof through the night
That you were lying there
She hopes you won't be home tonightRepeat Chorus
Fear and pain of this I sing
One day her freedom's gonna ring
She won't be coming home tonight.Repeat Chorus
Amber fields of pain
(One more hit until she leaves)
Wake up and go through it again
(One more hit she's gone)
