Suppressa

Once again the office floor
Some decision making by the Men-in-suits
"And do we consult the girls?"
Girls are pushing 40 in the typing pool
Treat us like a herd and we are cowed
Relegated to a basic usefulness
Girls are pushing 30 on the till
Girls are pushing 40 in the typing pool

You did not even see her
You did not know her second name
She just had always been there

If you think it does not count
I could pick a couple sharpest names for you
Naming is what marks us down
Girls are pushing 40 in the typing pool
Even though the woman is your mother
You would cut experience from under her
Girls are pushing 30 on the till
Girls are pushing 40 in the typing pool

You did not even see her
You did not know her second name
She just had always been there
