Those men
and their
pens

Those men and their pens
Scribbling hasty chains and outlawing our choices
In that suit, you think the world is yours

With the bible, you've never read and often misquote
In the seat, at the table, in front of the camera
Telling me that my body isn’t mine

Telling me that to be caught is worth $10,000

Those men and their pens

  

No uterus, probably can't spell it
All patriarchy, little care
Self-assured and reckless

Who am I to you but God’s handmaid birthing machine?

  

When it’s a mask you believe in choice
When it’s a gun you believe in choice

When it’s my body its only your choice
Those men and their pens

 

  

Didn't one of you go to Cancun when Texas needed you?
Don't kids go hungry in Texas?

That’s you right?

Those men and their pens

  

Now Bucktooth Bill can sue me
He can sue the uber driver or my cousin too
He can sue the doctor and the nurse

Just who can’t he sue?

You've been waiting a long time for this
Waiting and waiting

The paper was ready for the day

And the day waited for
Those men and their pens
