The Judge Said

    The judge said "Screw 'em!
    Boys, you're only human.
    They brought it on themselves
    By being born a woman.
    Like a mountain's there to climb
    And food's there to be eaten,
    Woman's there to rape,
    To be shoved around and beaten."

    Chorus:
    The judge took his position,
    The judge he wouldn't budge,
    So we've got out this petition,
    And we're going to screw the judge.

    Now if you beat a horse or dog
    Or violate a bank,
    Simonson will haul you in
    And throw you in the clink.
    But violate a woman,
    Your equal and your peer,
    The judge will slap you on the wrist
    And lay the blame on her.

    (Chorus)

    To draw a true conclusion
    From what Simonson has said,
    Woman has to live in fear
    And cover up her head.
    She has to dress in purdah
    And lock herself in cages,
    And this kinky judge in Madison
    Is from the Middle Ages.

    The judge took his position,
    The judge he wouldn't budge,
    So we've got out this petition,
    And we're going to dump the judge.
