Expectations
The silent chain that
Binds her to her failures
He lives freely he is a man
She speaks freely she is
A wretch

Be the perfect child they
Said
For the perfect wife they paid
Oh but a woman oh but a slave
She has no voice
She has no say

He buys beer he is a man
She buys her freedom she is
A disgrace

What world do we live in if all
They see up her
A head of cattle
A bunch of cash
Oh but a woman oh but a slave

So what happens to her dreams
Does she dream at night and
Wake up to this nightmare?
