45 Smash the system
When I was a little girl
My mother said it's a mans world
You've got to try hard for an education
It will change your situation
Mum was wrong and now I see
I've got to fight to set me free, so
Chorus:
Smash the system
Why do we all sit and wait
For someone else to do it when
We could've been free by now
You close your eyes
You close your mind
To things you think
Are a waste of times
It's easier just not to notice
You don't have to stand and make a fighting protest.

45 Stand Up
Stand up, women make your choice,
Create a world without nuclear threath.
For together we are strong.
Break the nuclear chain.
