Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves -- Eurythmics

Now there was a time when they used to say  That behind every - "great man." There had to be a - "great woman." But in these times of change you know  That it's no longer true. So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot  to say to you (we say)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves. Standin' on their own two feet.
And ringin' on their own bells. Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Now this is a song to celebrate  The conscious liberation of the
female state!  Mothers - daughters and their  daughters too.
Woman to woman  We're singin' with you.  The "inferior sex" got a new exterior We got doctors, lawyers, politicians  too.  Everybody - take a look around. Can you see - can you see - can you  see  There's a woman right
next to you. Now we ain't makin' stories  And we ain't layin' plans
'Cause a man still loves a woman  And a woman still loves a man


"Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" was written by Eurythmics members Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart.  It was intended as a feminist anthem.  It was criticized for containing some clichés about women in its lyrics by the A.V. Club         (wikipedia)
