It was the second day of spring and sunbeams made love to windows in all the houses
           D             Em                    Bm                      G          D
And I was Jesus and I decided to come down to earth in the shape of a woman this time
           D                 Em                           G                            D
And I was Jesus, and I went into the sea, and I took two fishes, and I turned them to millions
A                  D                           Em                                     G
...And I took five loaves of bread, and fed a country with them, and I said: "Do you believe me 
now?"
               D                         A
"Sorry", they said, "We focused on your wet white clothes as you bent over to pick up the 
fishes!"
           D             Em              Bm          G            D
And I was bitter for a while, but then decided to go at it again

And I was Ghandi and I went back to earth in the shape of a woman this time
D  A               D                    Em                                   G            D
.....And the river Ganges it cleared my vision and I, well, I guess I was a woman again
D  A         G                                             Bm
.....And I started my quiet, friendly revolution and they said: "Oh, a quiet friendly woman,

       G                                                    Bm
And I tried to convince them "it's not a personality, it's choice and a belief"
                        G
And "would you give me credit for it and please follow me"
              Bm                                            G
And they said: "Speak louder, we can't hear you when we're screaming
                                 A
you look nice now that you don't eat"

And I was both black and a woman so I had two fights to fight so I was burned out and well, that
 was it
