Michael, Jon, Aurelio Washin' the floors to send you to college Staying at home so you can feel safe What do you think is the soul of her knowledge What do you think that makes her feel safe Biting her lips and lowering her eyes To make sure there's food on the table What do you think would leave her surprised If the world were as willing as she's able Hugging herself in an old kitchen chair She listens to your hurt and your rage What do you think she knows of despair What is the aching of age The fathers, the children, the brothers Turn to her And everybody white Turns to her What about her turning around alone In the everyday light There oughta be a woman can break down Sit down, break down, sit down Let everybody else call it quits on a Monday Blues on Tuesday, sleep until Sunday down Sit down, break down, sit down A way out of no way It's flesh out of flesh It's courage that cries out at night A way out of no way It's flesh out of flesh It's bravery kept out of sight A way out of no way It's too much to ask It's too much of a task for any one woman
