lyrics

//A Section// If you put a woman in a box, and you put a man right there beside her, told them both to play the leader who you think would take the lead?

Which of them would get their point across, in which of them would just have to ‘yes indeed’.

If you put a man in a box and a woman right beside him, tell em take make the thing you’re made for and you make it out OK

Which of them you think is sticking it out, and which of them is kicking out the same damn day?

//B section// We are gathered here today to learn about our own race.

Let us refrain from any bias as the observations take place

//A section// If you put a woman in a box, and you put a man right there beside her. ‘It’s important that I spend tonight alone, is that OK?’

Which of them you think will understand, and which of them will stand in the other ones way?

If you put a woman in a box, oh what does it mean to be a woman in a box what is it like to be a man?

Which of them you think would stand in the other ones way? And who would understand?

//B section// Oh he sees her putting her dress on, and letting her hair out.

He takes a head full of high hopes to the porch where it can air out.

She’s got a half a mind to think it will never be the right time, Oh maybe

But they got a hell a lot of thinking to do before nighttime

We put a woman in a box and a man right there beside her.

And they took care of each other and they don’t ask for too much

And the woman and the man discover better ways to talk like through song and touch

//B section// Shes having a happy box morning, cooking with no pants on.

He clears a little bit of living room floor for them to dance on.

(Go get your dance on)

We are gathered here today to learn about our own selves

Let us be like lil children, learning from our grown selves.

We come together we say

Woooaaah Woooaaah Woooaaah x2
