Generate meaning
1
wouldn't it be nice if we had an amendment
2
to give civil rights to women
3
to once and for all just lay it down
4
from the point of view of women
5
i know what you're thinking
6
that's just redundant
7
chicks got it good now
8
they can almost be president
9
but it's worker against worker
10
time and time again
11
cuz the rich use certain issue as a tool
12
and when i say we need the ERA
13
it ain't cuz i'm a fool
14
it's cuz without is
15
nobody can get away with anything cool
16
and you don't have to go far
17
like just over to canada
18
to feel a heightened sense
19
of live and let live
20
what is it about americans
21
like so many pitt bulls
22
trained to attack and to never give
23
we gotta put down abortion
24
put it down in the books for good
25
as central to the civil rights of women
26
make diversity legal
27
make it finally understood
28
through the civil rights of women
29
and if you don't like abortion
30
don't have an abortion
31
and teach your children
32
how they can avoid them
33
but don't treat all women
34
like they are your children
35
compassion has many faces, many names
36
and if men can kill
37
and be decorated instead of blamed
38
then a woman called upon to mother
39
can choose to refrain
40
and contrary to eons of old time religion
41
your body's your only true dominion
42
nature is not here to serve you
43
(or at any cost, to preserve you)
44
that's just some preacher mans
45
old-time opinion
46
life is sacred
47
life is also profane
48
a woman's life must be hers to name
49
let an amendment put this brutal game to rest
50
trust
51
women will still take you to their breast
52
trust
53
women will always do their best
54
trust
55
our differences make us stronger, not less
56
in this amendment shall be
57
family structures shall be free
58
we'll have the right to civil union
59
withe equal rights and equal protection
60
intolerance finally ruined
61
and the there's the kids rights
62
they'll naturally be on board
63
the funnel through which women's lives are poured
64
our family is so big and we're all so very small
65
let a web of relationships be laid over it all
66
over the strata of power piled up to the sky
67
over the illusions of autonomy of which it relies
68
over an absolute that nature does not supply
69
and the birthing woman shall regain her place
70
in a circle of women in a sacred space
71
turn off the machines
72
put away the knives
73
this amendment shall deliver from bondage
74
midwives
