Women of a Certain Age
Embracing Change: Empowering Women in a Strange World
Lyrics
Woman of a certain age
Women who have reached a certain age.
Made to feel that they've gotta change
Feeling societal pressure to change.
Some of them change their faces
Some women undergo cosmetic changes.
But they don't smile the same
Their smiles may reflect inner discontent.
Some of them take night courses
Some women pursue education during the night.
Some of them get divorces
Some women go through divorces.
As the world gets strange
Observation of a changing and perplexing world.
It's time for a change
Expressing a need for change.
Go on let your men get strange mama
Encouraging women to embrace unconventional experiences.
Go on let the world get strange
Encouraging acceptance of the strange aspects of the world.
Never change
An assertion to remain true to oneself despite external changes.
Women of the world unite
A call for solidarity among women.
It's all the boys, they just wanna fight
Commentary on male aggression and conflict.
And women of the world are born
Recognition of women's innate qualities.
To all the boys little wars
Highlighting the impact of men's conflicts on women.
Mother, sister, daughter
Reference to familial relationships.
The boys are just cannon fodder
Suggesting that men are often disposable in conflicts.
It's time to take the reigns
A call for women to take control.
Lead us away from the strange
Guidance to lead away from the strange and chaotic.
Go on and let your men get strange, mama
Encouraging women to accept unconventional behavior in men.
Go on let the world get strange
Advocating acceptance of the strange in the world.
But never change
An emphasis on the importance of not changing one's core identity.
Never change
Reiteration of the idea to remain true to oneself.
Never change
Final emphasis on the importance of personal authenticity.
