Legal Genocide

You may call her a useless parasite
You may call him a big mistake
You may call her a reproductive right
'Til the moment she awakes
You may call him an inconvenience
You may call her a waste of funds
You may call it an act of providence
That he'll never see the sun
But why am I so horrified
At the rise of legal genocide
When the world still seeks the god of pride?
Nothing's new under the sun
You can say that she's not quite human yet
You can say it's nothing he'll feel
You can say she's not what you hoped to get
When you organized this deal
But why am I so horrified
At the rise of legal genocide
When the world still seeks the god of pride?
Nothing's new under the sun
Moloch standing up there, arms outstretched
And his bull eyes show no guilt
His big bronze hands are glowing red
How can I describe the sickness I felt
Something inside me went insane
When I saw a little baby up on the altar
Screaming and writhing in pain
And as the child was being burned alive
A man up front next to his fiery grave
Announced "The child's mother made this choice
And for that, she's strong and brave!
After all, the child was her possession
Like a slave belongs to his owner
And his life was hers to give or take
We are happy to help. We condone her!"
And you use twisted, deceptive vocabulary
To paint the truth in a negative light
You use big, ugly words to describe
Those who don't believe in your evil plight
And you hide behind nice terms like "reproductive freedom"
And say people all have rights
Well what about the people who aren't born yet
And have no defense in the fight?
Even if you can't hear him crying out
You feel his little feet kicking the wall
There should be no question about it
A person's a person, no matter how small
She's a human soul just like you and me
She's the future, the next generation
And, no matter how it came to be
You're interfering with creation!
You can say he's a fruit of tragedy
You can say she won't have a home
You can say he's his mother's property
Til he's breathing on his own
But why am I so horrified
At the rise of legal genocide
When the world still seeks the god of pride
And nothing's new here under the sun
Still, it seems a new depravity
How can you see anything but insanity?
If you're trying to wipe out humanity
Just be honest and use a gun
And you hide behind your crooked laws
As the money falls into your greedy claws
You throw more helpless souls into death's wide jaws
No regrets when the day is done
Do my prayers of anguish have no worth
As each day, more are slaughtered before their birth?
When will man be free of this wicked curse
That has so many minds overrun?
What they're selling is what you despise
And preserve these precious, helpless lives
Let these evils be undone!
