This song depicts the archetypal dream of every person that has been oppressed. It is about an act of revenge carried out by an unnamed woman, a maid, upon her oppressors. The song was originaly performed by the late Nina Simone. What is so compelling about this song is not only the victorious triumph with which she sings the song but also the ominus tone of the song.
