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

We had an amendment[00:00:29]

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

Women[00:00:35]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Time and time again[00:01:07]

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

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

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

With anything cruel[00:01:24]

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

Just over to Canada[00:01:31]

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

Live and let live[00:01:38]

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

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

Trained to attack them[00:01:47]

To never give[00:01:50]

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

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

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

Of women[00:02:02]

Make diversity legal[00:02:05]

Make it finally understood[00:02:09]

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

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

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

And teach your children[00:02:24]

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

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

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

Compassion has many faces[00:02:36]

Many names[00:02:38]

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

Instead of blamed[00:02:45]

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

Can choose to refrain[00:02:52]

And contrary to eons[00:02:55]

Of old time religion[00:02:59]

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

True dominion[00:03:05]

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

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

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

Old time opinion[00:03:17]

Life is sacred[00:03:21]

Life is also profane[00:03:24]

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

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

Let out an amendment[00:03:33]

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

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

To their breast[00:03:42]

Trust women will always[00:03:45]

Do their best[00:03:48]

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

Not less[00:03:55]

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

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

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

With equal rights and[00:04:35]

Equal protection[00:04:39]

Intolerance finally[00:04:42]

Ruined[00:04:44]

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

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

The funnel through which[00:04:54]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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