Margo Price - Pay Gap Lyrics

Honey I work so hard for my money
And I leave my babies at home
Breaking my back, trying to bring home a check
And working my fingers to the bone
But at the end of the day, it feels like a game
One I was born to lose
In this institution, a dead revolution is giving young women abuse

Pay gap, pay gap
Why don't you do the math
Pay gap, pay gap
Ripping my dollars in half

It's not that I'm asking for more than I'm owed
And I don't think I'm better than you
They say that we live in the land of the free
But sometimes that bell don't ring true

It's been that way with no equal pay
And I wanna know when it'll be fixed
Women do work and get treated like slaves
Since 1776

Pay gap, pay gap
Why don't you do the math
Pay gap, pay gap
Ripping my dollars in half

No matter your religion, no matter your race
No matter your orientation
No matter your creed and no matter your taste
And no matter your orientation

We're all the same in the eyes of my God
But in the eyes of rich white men
I'm no more than a maid to be owned like a dog
And a second class citizen

Pay gap, pay gap
Don't give me that feminism crap
Pay gap, pay gap
They're ripping my dollars in half
