(To all the courageous men and women who participated in the
civil disobedience at the Supreme Court on October 13, 1987 to
protest the court`s ruling in Michael Hardwick`s case and the
sodomy laws which remain on the books in over 20 states.)
It`s hard to believe in a land like this
That the freedom we think we have does not exist
Don`t ask me why the cops and the Feds
Care in the least what we do in our beds
`Cause only an asshole would care
What goes into our assholes and who puts it there
And only a person who`s really repressed
Would attempt to decide for the rest
Now Michael was entertaining a guest
When the officer walked right in and made the arrest
Who would have thought that the courts would uphold
An archaic law that`s a hundred years old
But the danger`s not what`s in our mouths
It`s the mouthful of bigotry which they espouse
Referring to God and the heavens above
To legislate how we make love
How can anyone disagree
With the fundamental right to privacy?
Something intrigues them, I don`t know what
Why else would they want to keep track of my butt?
And why should anyone have a say
As to whom we should and shouldn`t lay?
The think it`s sinful, I think it sucks
Having laws that tell us how we should f...ornicate
We`ve got to repeal the laws that remain
`Cause what happened in Georgia must not happen again
So roll up your sleeves and join in the fight
We`re not giving in `til we`ve gotten our rights
`Cause we`re being screwed all the time
By laws that make our way of screwing a crime
They`re calling on years of oppression and shame
To justify more of the same
`Cause only an asshole would care
What goes into our assholes and who puts it there
And only a person who`s really repressed
Would attempt to decide
But we can turn back the tide
By refusing to hide
When they attempt to decide for the rest
