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 acting 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

Ohh ooh oh

Desperation

Ohh ooh oh

Desperation

Ohh ooh oh

Desperation

(It's time to rethink and relearn, and open up our eyes)

Oh oh oh

Desperation

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

And open up our eyes

It's time to open our eyes

Open up our eyes
