Madonna – Room 822 lyrics
In 78 you came to New York to dance
With thirty five dollars to your name you sure took a chance
You went through highs, you went through lows
What happened in that alley, only you and them know
Now she’s on stage in her veil and her white lace
As she throws it all back into their faces
All the male macho shit
That she tears apart bit by bit
She is in control and many are shocked
Watching the virgin birth of the Queen of Pop
The jungle-men thought they’d been hit by a falling tree
As she signalled to the girls it’s time to break free
Like Catholic Joan of Arc she showed
That woman can be brave and be bold
And all those awards and all the honours
Were well deserved Lady, our Madonna
They said she’d gone too far
But from that day she became a superstar
And all those stiffs in their shirts and ties
Just didn’t get it, they don’t understand why
Cindi loved your show and said so too
Was like after a storm when all is shiny and new
If you wanna win you gotta dare
You know everyone’s got their own cross to bare
Elvis oozed sexuality, Dylan free’d the mind
There’s no-one like Madonna, she’s one of a kind
Some say she’s lost, some say she’s won
This lady’s sold more records than anyone
Does she need your permission to think or speak
Should she need to have to turn the other cheek
Should she follow your every word
And should she not be seen and not be heard
Like Catholic Joan of Arc she showed
That woman can be brave and be bold
And all those awards and all the honours
Were well deserved Lady, our Madonna, our Madonna
Get up, lie down, raise kids, cook and clean the house
Smile and don’t complain and be as quiet as a mouse
Coz you’re a woman in a man’s world, understand
This is how things are in every land
She might be blonde but dumb she ain’t
Unlike Joan of Arc, she ain’t no Saint
Two Catholic girls fighting to be free
Fighting in the name of Liberty
Taking photos for your ‘Sex’ book in Chelsea’s Room 822
No-one had any idea what you would do
You ran into the street completely bare
As cars and bikes crashed as everyone stared
There’s no-one like you, nor will there ever be
You showed women that they could break free
And not live their lives in emotional slavery
That they could freely express their own sexuality, sexuality
Like Catholic Joan of Arc she showed
That woman can be brave and be bold
And all those awards and all the honours
Were well deserved Lady, our Madonna
