When does a woman's choice belong to her and not to man or myth?
When does a woman's body belong to her and not to man or myth?
George w. Bush vowed to overturn Roe vs. Wade
By stacking the Supreme Court full of anti-choice advocates
While attorney general John Ashcroft swore to god
That he'd keep religion out of it
This bloodthirsty Texas governor, become illegitimate president,
Has some fucking nerve to call himself pro-life
He embodies the hypocritical, ignorant, sexist thinking
That's so typical of the religious right
It's her body. It's her decision
Not that of state, man or religion
The "pro-life" movement is moral fraud
Fuck their lies and fuck their god
Our bodies are not a battlefield
Government and religion have proven throughout history
That they do not place value on the sanctity of life
To now call themselves "pro-life" drastically misstates the position
Of those who are followers of a blood-soaked religion
Their fight is not about the sanctity of life
It's more about control and a woman's rightful role
And how they should adhere to living their lives Under men's supervision
And the churches moral restrictions and contradictions
It's her body. It's her decision
Not that of state, man or religion
The "pro-life" movement is moral fraud
Fuck their lies and fuck their god
Our bodies are not a battlefield
Should we once again return to the days of desperation
For women who would put their lives in jeopardy?
Going to extreme and dangerous measures
To end an unwanted pregnancy
Instead of women having rightful access
To a safe and legal medical procedure
Performed in a clean and sterile environment
By a trained, qualified and competent doctor
Without being intimidated, harassed or threatened
By the pitfalls of religious fanaticism
They exploit graphic, disgusting and misleading images
To play on people's emotions and force their religion down our throats
By giving into this religious extortion
Women will have to resort to back alley abortions
Are the women who will suffer from enforcing this restriction
Really less important than fetus or fiction?
If you don't agree with abortion then don't fucking have one
But you have no right to govern someone else's body
With your arrogant, self-righteous indignation
It's her body. It's her decision
Not that of state, man or religion
The "pro-life" movement is moral fraud
Fuck their lies and fuck their god
Our bodies are not a battlefield
When does a woman's body belong to her and not to man or myth?
George w. Bush vowed to overturn Roe vs. Wade
By stacking the Supreme Court full of anti-choice advocates
While attorney general John Ashcroft swore to god
That he'd keep religion out of it
This bloodthirsty Texas governor, become illegitimate president,
Has some fucking nerve to call himself pro-life
He embodies the hypocritical, ignorant, sexist thinking
That's so typical of the religious right
It's her body. It's her decision
Not that of state, man or religion
The "pro-life" movement is moral fraud
Fuck their lies and fuck their god
Our bodies are not a battlefield
Government and religion have proven throughout history
That they do not place value on the sanctity of life
To now call themselves "pro-life" drastically misstates the position
Of those who are followers of a blood-soaked religion

Gentle Hour

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song uses a "her" as 2 different things: 1. The Woman is the United States of America. 2. The Woman is a real human female. the lyrics pretty much explain it all.
Dave is damn genious man. man i wish he got back with aus rotten again and made more music
