Man's got his woman to take his seed
He's got the power - oh
She's got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner or anything she can

She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

Man makes your hair gray
He's your life's mistake
All you're really lookin' for is an even break
He lies right at you
You know you hate this game
He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain

She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime
Clean up this grime
And you there down on your knees begging me please come
Watch me bleed

Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

[idgiehkt]

5. me too

she's amazing.

I don't know how Alice could sing like that and wear makeup like that and turn out republican...it's so weird.

Here's the woodstock version of Ball and Chain:

This one is actually better.

I could listen to her sing this all damn night. I don't think I have ever seen this because I don't remember it being in the woodstock movie but I could be wrong. An ex of mine's stepdad was there playing sax for her and he said it was just a muddy dirty mess.

[wildhorses]

7. Damn, that is a powerful song.

Got to be one of his best.

[wildhorses]

9. when a hard rocker shows his tender side---

i am goofy about the so-called power ballads

[Wapsie B]

11. yeah i can see why you are.........

i had forgotten how good that song is

[thefool_wa]

12. I find this song sexist and a little offensive

Not all men are like this and women are not the only ones that bleed.

These sentiments are grossly out of date for the majority of the modern world. I am a man, I bleed (physically and emotionally) just the same as you.

Women are not unique to the human experience, we are all in this together, and just because a few of us (men) suck doesn't mean that the message this song conveys is OK. If I made the same kind of broad sweeping generalizations about women that this song makes about men I would get the crap flamed out of me. Is that fair?

Don't hate all men just because some of us suck. And don't think that you are the only one who bleeds - we all bleed.

13. blood is what carries oxygen and nutrients

most creatures (including humans) have blood.

sounds like victim rock.

men are the last group it's okay to dump on.

[thefool_wa]

14. aint that the truth

and I get a little tired of it.

I have a penis, yes, but that doesn't make me evil and I wish that people would see the hypocrisy inherent in songs like this.

[wildhorses]

21. not for nothing

but, i think he meant the term metaphorically...

course i don't like to overanalyze rock and roll

[datasuspect]

24. i wasn't doggin you

i hear you on the overanalyzisation.

but then, i analyze bee gees lyrics.

smooches!

15. Alice Cooper reads DU?

another freeper troll, he is.

[thefool_wa]

16. ??

And what exactly is that supposed to mean?

[idgiehkt]

18. It's an Alice Cooper song

I don't know if he wrote it, but wildhorses just posted it. It was a roundabout way of asking who you are addressing with that post.

[thefool_wa]

23. ah

The song is originally by Janis Joplin - I can't get to YouTube from this machine so I didn't realize the video was of Alice Cooper.

That seems peculiar - that he would cover this song...

[wildhorses]

19. who said i hated men???

i see you get your exercise jumping to conclusions:P

[thefool_wa]

25. Wasn't complaining at you

I was complaining at the song itself.

I was in a mood yesterday - got my nose bent out of shape. The sentiments are sincere, but not so much directed at you. Sorry if I worded or you took it that way.

And yes - I get ALOT of exercise that way :)

note: I have no access to youTube from this machine so I had to read the thread a couple times before I realized that the video link was to Alice Cooper singing this song. I find that highly unusual and am curious to see the vid. I'll have to check it at home.

oh...:hug:

sorry:blush:

[HughBeaumont]

17. Ain't nothing like mid-seventies Alice.

Hells yeah.

Too bad it's the abridged version.

[wildhorses]

20. i am just thankful to find ANY version

:hi:
