Those men and their pens

Charli Pitchblende Contributor

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
