lyrics
THE DECISION IS MINE
Oh, the news! it ain't so good
I was hoping for a different answer
I ain’t the first, no I won’t be the last
I’m just another woman in that age old bind
They can make it whatever they want
They can make it legal, they can make it a killin’ crime
They can make it whatever they want
The decision is mine!
It’s the same old story we’ve come to know
Somebody’s getting’ elected on a woman’s soul
And down our bodies the line is drawn
The sides are taken and the fight is on
They can make it whatever they want
They can make it legal, they can make it a killin’ crime
They can make it whatever they want
The decision is mine!
If you’ve never been there, then never go
‘Cause it’s a lonely, lonely walk
Through a mixed up world
With just your god right by your side
That god who watches over women in that aged old bind,
They can make it whatever they want
They can make it legal, they can make it a killin’ crime
They can make it whatever they want
The decision is mine!
