Women Around The World At Work - Martha and the Muffins

In a hundred wars across the earth

Men and guns are thought to prove their worth

Women stay behind and grow the food

Placing soldiers in a dangerous mood

Women around the world at work

Working, working

There’s a man who must be sixty-five

Makes his living running other lives

Tells them when they can’t and when they can

They’re so busy they don’t give a damn

Women around the world at work

Working, working

In The Daily X, May '81

Back-page human interest story runs

«Girls of twelve still sold for love today»

Just so men can have their bloody way

Women around the world at work
