"timid women don't make six-digit-figures,"
said the loose purler unto the tight knitter,
"and you can be a weak broad in the meat-market
and they'll spit out a heart with nothin hidden in it
i fired men twice my size
they cowered at the power of my mensees
i've been estranged from my mom so long
she thought of me as just a list of expenses
shit, look at me, i lost a stitch around the armpit
-when you bitch you put a crack in your defenses"
"i left my job after the mafia got involved
i found the deals ran so deep
they piped up sap into the tree of deceit
and i insisted that the contracts were resisted
but a man was enlisted to force me into this decision
to move back to the heartland
take care of my mother and i signed up for this class
and my daughter-in-law's a pain in the ass:
see cringes at my crassness, she curls up her eyelashes, she's all lace and satin sashes, and she's gonna get HER ASS KICKED"
"so my little doe-eyed-dears, before you get your bottled-beers, i'm gonna give it to you clear
-not molly-cottle you anymore
when they say they're granting
everything that you are asking
and it's just a game you're playing,
this is what they're REALLY saying
'o daughter o daughter,
we'll dress you up for the slaughter
there's eyes like axe-heads
and you're the fire's fodder'
"so timid women don't fidget
you'll never get that sixth digit
timid women don't fidget"
