The Hen

Fighting Words Dublin, Our Lady's Terenure, 18th September 2026

Verse 1:
Women can do everything men can do and more,
Even if they didn’t get the opportunity before
Women are fighting for their freedoms,
while Sydney Sweeney is out there making them appear feeble.
Women’s sports are often dismissed,
meanwhile the FIFA world cup just can’t be missed.

Chorus 1:
Why is the rooster always louder than the hen?
Why do women have babies and not men?
Why should we be bias,
Don’t let differences divide us,
instead use this to unite us.

Verse 2:
Why are women seen as less than men,
when we all are clearly a 10
Why are women seen as less capable than men,
why is a boy called Ben
supposedly better than a woman called Gen,
we should take example from Barbie and Ken
Why are women seen as less capable than men,
they say things will change, but our question is When?
Women don’t have as much fairness in sport,
we need more support,
at this point we should take it to court.

Chorus 2:
Why is the rooster always louder than the hen?
Why do women have babies and not men?
Why should we be bias,
Don’t let differences divide us,
instead use this to unite us.

Bridge:
Yo Yo Yo, the names D. Walsh; last one left, I’m here to replace;
Let’s talk inequality, Ay Ay Ay; Handmaids tale, with my class;
gender, inequality, it’s not a blast ; 10 chapters for homework;
that’s not fair, Feminism! I really care;

Chorus 3:
Why is the rooster always louder than the hen?
Why do women have babies and not men?
Why should we be bias,
Don’t let differences divide us,
instead use this to unite us.
