Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah...alright...hit it!
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...if you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me, you better scream about it
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

Review about Woman is the Nigger of the World Slavery is Dead (But Slavery Lives On) | Reviewer: hash | 2/24/09
To the reviewer above me, I could not agree more with your assessment of organized society. But if I may add something to your interpretation, I would say that even though Slavery has been abolished, the 'weakest' members of society are still being misrepresented and oppressed. One need not look any further than your own television. Turn on MTV, VH1, BET or the Disney Channel and see how we paint the faces of the meek and force them to perform, or 'dance', for our entertainment.
It is a crime that is committed everyday, in every country, on every continent on our globe, yet no one seems to be aware or startled at the apparent lack of real opportunities afforded to the poor and meek in our supposedly free society.
Everyday a child is born, and everyday that same child is murdered. It is murdered in spirit if not in physicality. They are told to mind and obey the will of their parents, lorded over by the 'father' like a fat duck guarding it's daily bread.
If that statement appears to be unrealistic or exaggerated, think for a moment back five, ten, even twenty years, all the way back to your very own childhood and tell me the people charged with your 'protection' weren't in all honesty and actuality suppressing your then-vibrant ego, placing your 'good' siblings against the 'bad' or 'spoiled' children, yourself may be included.
They say they are in fact protecting people from exploitation yet make others act and perform on stage, from the age of five years onwards in some cases, for unreasonable hours at a time. They make them shoot films and commercials, having them up all night, all to make their 'keepers' wealthy all the while 'putting aside' some pennies for the child when they come of age.
Yes, woman is truly the nigger of the world, and minorities and disabled persons, children and the poor. If you have any doubts as to my testimony, you need only to look towards your very own partner, child, ward or television.
The Slave of Slaves | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/28/08
John Lennon is intelligent, intuitive, insightful, rebellious, and outspoken in the lyrics to this song more than usual. He uses the emotion-laden word "nigger" to refer to any slave in general. Every person is enslaved by the society he or she is born into, and woman is the greatest slave of all in terms of numbers, constituting approximately one-half of the total population in any society. No other human group is exploited as much as females. Children, persons of color, and left-handed (right-brained; creative) persons are not as greatly oppressed in terms of numbers.
When every child is born, we kill his or her will to be free -- we break his or her spirit. And this is most true for females, again in terms of numbers of persons. This is done because human males are inferior to human females. Males contribute only sperm to the survival of the species, and females do all the rest of the work. Thus, males are afraid of females, and males devise methods and techniques to dominate females. The most notable among these methods is organized religions with their male deities. Most males are threatened by an intelligent female, so females are conditioned to “play dumb” if you want to catch a male to marry you. No self-respecting female will play this suicidal game. But a female like Joan of Arc and the so-called witches of Salem exemplify what happens to talented and gifted females. Only a feeble male would be threatened by intelligence in any female including his own wife.
This is all part of the agenda of every society to condition all of its members to be biological robots. To escape from this self-chosen trap and prison, each individual can go within to transcend his or her mind. Meditation techniques were devised for this purpose. The inner space can bring one to the innermost center of his or her being, and thereby to directly, immediately experience the ultimate beyond, to know who and what he or she is.
The real freedom is inner freedom. The real revolution is the inner revolution. Unless you master your own mind and ego-self, you will be a spiritual slave. Slaves of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your self-chosen chains of repression.
