Lyrics
VERSE 1
My first ex-boyfriend Jim
Said it wasn't me, but him.
Uncle Pete let me wash his sweet ride
But only let my brother drive.
We see through ev'ry little white lie
When you don't look us in the eye.
Come on, you should know when you tell us "no"
We work that much harder to show, oh, oh!
CHORUS
We don't need no Man tellin' us we can't.
We'll show ya that we can.
We're more than qualified!
You think you wear the pants,
You pawns in our master plan.
We'll prove you wrong, Mr. Not Quite Right,
When we ... STICK IT TO THE MAN.
VERSE 2
They said we weren't good enough.
But did we fold? No! We called their bluff.
Their mistake didn't break us down.
We made our own way in this town.
We'll never wonder what could've been
'Cause we didn't let them win.
Now, we get to gloat when those who told us "no"
Hear this song on the radio, oh, oh!
CHORUS
We don't need no Man tellin' us we can't.
We'll show ya that we can.
We won't quit 'til we're satisfied!
You think you wear the pants,
You pawns in our master plan.
We'll prove you wrong, Mr. Not Quite Right,
When we ... STICK IT TO THE MAN.
BRIDGE
Joan of Arc stuck it to the English Man
When she led her troops to victory.
Rosa Parks stuck it to the bigot Man
When she refused to give up her seat.
And here's to Danica P. who made history
Driving her car to Indy fame.
Let's raise a glass to women kicking ass
And ... taking names!
CHORUS
We don't need no Man tellin' us we can't.
We'll show ya that we can.
We will not be denied!
You think you wear the pants,
You pawns in our master plan.
We'll prove you wrong, Mr. Not Quite Right,
When we ... STICK IT TO THE MAN.
TAG
We're gonna STICK IT TO THE MAN.
Go on and STICK IT TO THE MAN.
Yeah, yeah!
