	Story Behind the Song About two years ago I saw a special on HBO that spoke about honor killings and the Taliban regime in Afganistan and treatment of women. I was very moved and felt that I had to write something down. This is what came out of that. Lyrics You put your woman down, under the robes and gown you put her down and you beat her. You tell us god is near and he has brought you hear and his voice speaks within you. A stone stands before you yeah the door is shut you can't know what you're doing. You call this love yeah you're burning like you preach at your sermon. You tell your woman to get down. You tell us culture can never change a woman must die if she takes lovers a man can get away with murder. She can not overcome until there's freedom this is his home and he'll protect it. You claim fidelity, you want her purity yeah she might as well be dead. A stone stands before you the door is shut. You can't know what your doing you call this love, yeah your burning. Like you preach at your sermon. You tell your woman to get down. You tell us culture can never change. A woman must die if she takes lovers a man can get away with murder. She's left all alone. She cannot go home she can't go to the police. She's wearing the robes that the man will impose but that's how honor goes. You tell your woman to get down., You tell us culture can never change a woman must die if she takes lovers a man can get away with murder.
