《Amendment》歌词

[00:00:26] Wouldn't it be nice if

[00:00:29] We had an amendment

[00:00:32] To give civil rights to

[00:00:35] Women

[00:00:38] To once and for all just

[00:00:41] Really lay it down from

[00:00:44] The point of view of women

[00:00:51] I know what you're thinking

[00:00:54] That's just redundant

[00:00:57] Chicks got it good now

[00:01:00] They can almost be president

[00:01:03] But is worker against worker

[00:01:07] Time and time again

[00:01:09] Cause the rich use certain issues as a tool

[00:01:15] When I say we need the E R A ain't cause I'm a fool

[00:01:21] It's cause without it nobody can get away

[00:01:24] With anything cruel

[00:01:28] And you don't need to go far like

[00:01:31] Just over to Canada

[00:01:34] To feel the height and sense of

[00:01:38] Live and let live

[00:01:40] What is it about Americans

[00:01:44] Like so many pit-bulls

[00:01:47] Trained to attack them

[00:01:50] To never give

[00:01:53] We gotta put down abortion

[00:01:56] Put it down in the books for good

[00:01:59] As central to the civil rights

[00:02:02] Of women

[00:02:05] Make diversity legal

[00:02:09] Make it finally understood

[00:02:12] Through the civil rights of women

[00:02:18] And if you don't like abortion

[00:02:21] Don't have an abortion

[00:02:24] And teach your children

[00:02:27] How they can avoid them

[00:02:30] But don't treat all women

[00:02:33] Like they are your children

[00:02:36] Compassion has many faces

[00:02:38] Many names

[00:02:42] And if men can kill and be decorated

[00:02:45] Instead of blamed

[00:02:49] Then a woman called upon to mother

[00:02:52] Can choose to refrain

[00:02:55] And contrary to eons

[00:02:59] Of old time religion

[00:03:02] Your body is your only

[00:03:05] True dominion

[00:03:08] Nature is not here to serve you

[00:03:11] Or at any cause to preserve you

[00:03:14] That's just some preacher man's

[00:03:17] Old time opinion

[00:03:21] Life is sacred

[00:03:24] Life is also profane

[00:03:27] A woman's life

[00:03:30] It must be hers to name

[00:03:33] Let out an amendment

[00:03:36] Put this brutal game to rest

[00:03:39] Trust women will still take you

[00:03:42] To their breast

[00:03:45] Trust women will always

[00:03:48] Do their best

[00:03:51] Trust our differences make us stronger

[00:03:55] Not less

[00:04:23] In this amendment shall be

[00:04:26] Family structure shall be free

[00:04:29] We'll have the right to civil our unions

[00:04:35] With equal rights and

[00:04:39] Equal protection

[00:04:42] Intolerance finally

[00:04:44] Ruined

[00:04:48] And then there's the kids rights

[00:04:51] They'll naturally be on board

[00:04:54] The funnel through which

[00:04:57] Women's lives are poured

[00:05:00] Our family is so big

[00:05:03] And we're all so very small

[00:05:06] Let a web of relationship

[00:05:10] Be laid over it all

[00:05:12] Over the strutter of power piled up to the sky

[00:05:18] Over the illusion of autonomy on which it relies

[00:05:25] Over any absolute that nature does not supply

[00:05:53] And the birthing woman shall regain her place

[00:05:58] In a circle of women in a sacred space

[00:06:04] Turn off the machines put away the knifes

[00:06:09] This amendment shall deliver from bondage midwives
