Time to Take a Stand

anonyme


Text anonymous (≤1981). Tune : « Clementina ».


1
In the UK, in the UK
Where abortion is a crime,
You can die of septicaemia
Yes, it happens all the time.
 
2
In the city, there’s a doctor,
And he’s making lots of dough
But there’s women out there crying
Cause they can’t afford to go.
 
3
There are others out there frantic
Where the welfare workers go
Have the baby - it won’t hurt you,
And she quietly suicides,
 
5
In a sweet church on a green hill
Father Joseph saves a soul
While he’s praying for a foetus
Another woman’s dead and cold
 
6
Foetus lovers, foetus lovers,
Can’t you see the life you save,
Grow into a little baby,
Bashed and battered while you rave !
 
7
I’m a woman and my body
Must remain for me alone
Throw your fucked laws out the window
My decisions are my own.
 
8
Contraception and abortion
Are just rights that we demand
Contraception and abortion
Women, time to take a stand.
