It's 2006 and we don't give a shit It's 2006 and we don't give a shit That Roe v. Wade is crumbling We can't trust the government A piece of legislation is all that stands between our freedom And your commandments It's 2006 and we don't give a shit that we have no alternatives But imagine a time before Roe v. Wade When they'd pick up scared scared women on the corner and they'd Blindfold them and put them in a car Drive round in circles til they didn't know where they were They didn't know where they were SongtexteAnd they'd take them to a room where some sleazy man Would say hey I'm a doctor and he'd put his hands on her And say honey if you don't have all the money it's ok You can suck my dick I'll let you suck my dick And there's a history unknown In 1969 the women of Chicago rose and said we're not gonna take this They didn't take it to the courts they didn't picket in the street They knew direct action was the only way choice is free. They set up a clinic an abortion clinic And no one was turned away just because they couldn't pay They performed over 11,000 abortions with kindness and compassion They were just housewives and mothers They were just students There were no hospitals there were no doctors there were no nurses And there were no men And nobody died, nobody died, nobody died How's that for demystified And there's a history unknown In 1969 the women of Chicago rose and said we're not gonna take this It's 2006 and we don't give a shit It's 2006 and we don't give a shit That Roe v. Wade is crumbling We can't trust the government A piece of legislation is all that stands between our freedom And your commandments And with or without the legal right we're not really free No we're not really free Cuz the capitalist medical industry will never take care of you or me And the patriarchic medical industry will never take care of you or me Never take care of you or me And the abortion industry is just legalized brutality Power taken, knowledge withheld A medical mystery upheld by science and little white men in little white coats Little white men in little white coats So we can't leave this to the doctors we can't leave this to the lawyers We can't leave this to the Christians we can't leave this to the president If we don't decide the circumstances of our own lives Then choice is just choosing to let someone else decide And there's a history unknown In 1969 the women of Chicago rose and said we're not gonna take this Aus Songtexte Mania
