Lake Street Dive - Being a Woman

Being a woman is a full-time job
I wake up in the morning and I punch the clock
And people tell me, "Take it easy" but they don't say to stop
Being a woman is a full-time job
(Being a woman is a full-time job)
Being a woman is a full-time job
And I work all-day
And I work all night

Being a woman
Is an uphill climb
Eighty cents on the dollar
And you need every dime
'Cause you've got a little baby
And she cries all the time

Being a woman is an uphill climb
(Being a woman is an uphill climb)
When you're a woman you work full time
Yeah, you work all-day
And you work all night

No lunch breaks, no minimum wage, yeah
Most of the time I don't even get paid, I
Spend my lifetime slaving away for you
And if I complain they'll blame my feelings
But look at the view from my glass ceiling
Barely see that sunlight stealing through

Being a woman is a full-time job
And when we stand up and protest we're called an angry mob
While another lone gunman loads up his shots

Being a woman is a full-time job
(Being a woman is a full-time job)
Being a woman is a full-time job
