Desperation (Lyrics)

There are women on the billboards and in commercials on TV  There are women selling products with their own bodies  Women selling beer, cigarettes and gum  Women looking shallow-minded and inherently dumb  Women selling cars, cosmetics and attire  Telling us to look good, this is what's required  There are women on the corners selling themselves upon the streets  Why are women so expected to sell their own sexuality?  There are women in magazines to tell us how to act  Manipulating us as children, telling us it's fact  There are women who have figured out to make a decent wage,  It's worth the humiliation of dancing on a stage.  Greedy eyes fixed on her, she has to hold a smile  cause she's single with two children and the pay makes it worth while...  They pay women for their sexuality, they know that it will sell  And some women see the money as an escape from their own hell  Both the sex industry and advertisers feed on desperation  preying on inequality, the accepted male/female relation  The more insecure the better, that's when we believe their lies  It's time to rethink and relearn, and open up our eyes.
