1
It's 2006 and we don't give a shit
2
It's 2006 and we don't give a shit
3
That Roe v. Wade is crumbling
4
We can't trust the government
5
A piece of legislation is all that stands between our freedom
6
And your commandments
7
It's 2006 and we don't give a shit that we have no alternatives
8
But imagine a time before Roe v. Wade
9
When they'd pick up scared scared women on the corner and they'd
10
Blindfold them and put them in a car
11
Drive round in circles til they didn't know where they were
12
They didn't know where they were
13
And they'd take them to a room where some sleazy man
14
Would say hey I'm a doctor and he'd put his hands on her
15
And say honey if you don't have all the money it's ok
16
You can suck my dick
17
I'll let you suck my dick
18
And there's a history unknown
19
In 1969 the women of Chicago rose and said we're not gonna take this
20
They didn't take it to the courts they didn't picket in the street
21
They knew direct action was the only way choice is free.
22
They set up a clinic an abortion clinic
23
And no one was turned away just because they couldn't pay
24
They performed over 11,000 abortions with kindness and compassion
25
They were just housewives and mothers
26
They were just students
27
There were no hospitals there were no doctors there were no nurses
28
And there were no men
29
And nobody died, nobody died, nobody died
30
How's that for demystified
31
And there's a history unknown
32
In 1969 the women of Chicago rose and said we're not gonna take this
33
It's 2006 and we don't give a shit
34
It's 2006 and we don't give a shit
35
That Roe v. Wade is crumbling
36
We can't trust the government
37
A piece of legislation is all that stands between our freedom
38
And your commandments
39
And with or without the legal right we're not really free
40
No we're not really free
41
Cuz the capitalist medical industry will never take care of you or me
42
And the patriarchic medical industry will never take care of you or me
43
Never take care of you or me
44
And the abortion industry is just legalized brutality
45
Power taken, knowledge withheld
46
A medical mystery upheld by science and little white men in little white coats
47
Little white men in little white coats
48
So we can't leave this to the doctors we can't leave this to the lawyers
49
We can't leave this to the Christians we can't leave this to the president
50
If we don't decide the circumstances of our own lives
51
Then choice is just choosing to let someone else decide
52
And there's a history unknown
53
In 1969 the women of Chicago rose and said we're not gonna take this
