No Equality Songtext
von Nellie McKay

There′s no equality here
There's no equality anywhere
And every fear you can face
Is quickly replaced by one you can′t lose
It's an illusion
Alluding to a revolution
That's never meant to occur
Won′t happen to her, won′t happen to you

And you let me down slowly
Let me down slow and you turned me around
Let me down easy
Let yourself go, now you're going to town
Baby, baby, can′t you see
What this hypocrisy is doing to me?
We should have kicked over the ladder from the start

You used to be my lover
You used to be my soul soul brother
I used to believe that you could conceive
Conceive of my love


But you let me down slowly
You let me down slow and you turned me around
Let me down easy
Let yourself go, now you're going to town
Baby, baby, can′t you see
What this absurdity is doing to me?
We should have kicked over the ladder from the start
There's no equality

Nobody knows the trouble I′ve seen
No one supposes just how mean I can be
I play the victim but I'm really a cad
And all I've ever wanted is everything I′m gonna have

There′s no equality here
There's no equality on earth, I fear
There are so many to martyr, to boss and to barter
It′s me or it's you

That′s why I let you down slowly
Let you down slow and I turned you around
Let you down easy
Let myself go, now we're both set to drown
Baby, baby, can′t you see
What this futility is doing to me?
We should have kicked over the ladder from the start
There's no equality
