評價 這首歌靈感來自於
小野洋子 的一次訪談,歌曲描述了婦女的屈從於男性和男性沙文主義。這首歌在英國遭到了所有電台和BBC的禁播,因為
nigger (黑鬼)這個帶有歧視意義的詞。但是這首歌得到了很多黑人的支持,美國國會議員長德拉姆斯,說,“如果你定義“黑鬼”作為人的生活方式,,你不必因為黑色的皮膚而是一個黑鬼在這個社會。在美國大多數人都是黑人!”
在1972年的迪克卡維特節目,
約翰列儂 說,愛爾蘭革命這傑姆斯康納利是一個靈感,列儂引用康納利的女奴隸的定義解釋女性。

列儂 完整熟練的演繹了這首歌,展示出了強大的現場演唱功力和氣場,現場的氣氛十分給力。
歌詞 Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah...alright...hit it!
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...if you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me, you better scream about it
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
女人是世界的黑人
是的她是……想想
女人是世界的黑人
想想……做點什麼
我們讓她畫她的臉和舞蹈
如果她不會是一個奴隸,我們說,她不喜歡我們
