From the recording Are We All Ok?
Lyrics
ON THE LEVEL
B D E/ A
If I’m on the level
I will tell you why
If I’m on a higher level
It’s ‘cause I am a man and I’m White
If I’m on the level
Mad men rule your life
Yeah if I’m on the level
Mad men rule and that’s not right
Girl you’ve got a reason
Girl you’ve got a reason to fight
Misogny’s the reason
Girl you’d best be ready to fight
If I’m on the level
Mad men rule your life
Yeah if I’m on the level
Mad men rule and that’s not right
And they’ll treat you like a heathen
If the colour of your skin’s not like
You’ll be guilty of treason
Guilty of not being born White
If I’m on the level
Mad men rule your life
Yeah if I’m on the level
Mad men rule and that’s not right
That’s not right, not right, not right, not right, not right
