lyrics

You thought you'd be together
Really thought you'd love him forever
It's 1962 what could you do
Now your belly's starting to swell
Want to ask but you can't tell
Have to promise not to tell
Can't afford to pay for it
Governor says can't get rid of it
You'll find no help in the bible belt
She had a friend who had a friend who had a friend who said
Just a couple of minutes they can make it all end
The fever burned her body up
Nothings working they can't make the bleeding stop
She might as well have been a witch
It's a caustic mix, herbs and politics
Another man takes his seat
He sets out confident to lead
With God behind him and his moral authority
Capitalist agenda always calculating
He's power hungry needs to feed
Fills his belly and the bellies of his constituency
And they all agree on the sacrifice
They all agree...
Preach the sanctity of human life
Marionettes move their mouths but only on one side
They give us ashes, bread and circuses
They keep us distracted and the world burns
While the whole world burns
The whole world burns
