GIRLS NEED GUNS

歌詞

I graduated high school in 1975 I guess I was 16 when abortion became legal Um, and yes, I feel like it's part of your healthcare And even if you want a baby badly, you need to be able to get out of it if it's not going right Otherwise you'll die or it'll keep you from having others in the future Um, but it's about- of course as you all know- they don't give a shit about a baby, it's just about controlling women Little by little One by one Mothers grow to fear their own damn sons And if the past's a sign of what's to come The world's fucked up The girls need guns, yeah, yeah Because I actually knew girls that were pregnant in high school And decisions had to get- different decisions were made by all of them But I remember thinking, I feel like we are becoming more equal or valued are humans Not just who you're going to marry And right around then, my mom, who- like I said, she's got two college degrees But she still needed permission from my dad to be in the bank account or to have her own I was old enough to get what was happening and remember when women were second class I mean, these days, even if you wanna be pregnant and something goes wrong In Texas, they're gonna let you fucking die And that's why I tell Gracie "You can't come here" I said as much as I wanna be closer to my kids, I don't want 'em to be here Little by little One by one Mothers grow to fear their own damn sons And if the past's a sign of what's to come The world's fucked up The girls need guns, I said Little by little One by one Mothers grow to fear their own damn sons And if the past's a sign of what's to come The world's fucked up The girls need guns, yeah, yeah Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Okay well, you can call me anytime, honey (Well thank you very much, I appreciate it) I'm so proud of you (Thank you) I love you very, very much (I love you, too) I want you to be safe, please (Okay, you too) Okay, alright, honey. We'll talk soon (Okay) Okay, bye
