A Woman S Work lyrics

Ruby`s got a government that rules inside her head
A third eye, a crystal ball
Her mama always said
It would guide her
If she kept it inside her

The freak across the street tried to contaminate her skin
She was thinking `Who would miss him?`
The world`s about to end
And he`s fit perfectly into her catastrophe

She`s a woman at heart and a man on a mission
A saint to purify the human condition
She`s fortune teller, but she`s never gonna tell
There`s a worm in the bottom of a dead wishing well

Chorus:
A woman`s work is never done
A woman`s work is never done
Never, when she`s a loaded gun, loaded gun
Never done, never when she`s a loaded gun, loaded gun

She found it funny that nine and ten were easier to do
After she`d meticulously filtered out a few
Still the voices shout
Take the garbage out

She was raised to believe that you get what you pray for
If God was really good then she wouldn`t have to wait for
Him to drop the gavel, so she`ll do it all herself
There`s a worm in the bottom of a dead wishing well

Repeat Chorus

When the flashing lights cut through the billowing dust
Her voices cried `looks like it`s not just us, justice`
Guess she got a little careless with cadaver eleven
Before she`ll go to jail she`d rather go to Heaven
And the final leap of faith of a zealot Jezebel
Led `em diggin` in the bottom of a dead wishing well

Repeat Chorus Twice

She`s a loaded gun
A woman`s work, yeah, yeah
Oh, a woman`s work
This, this woman`s
This woman`s work
