lyrics

Her body’s not her own
It belongs to all the men
Belongs to the state
To the government

She’s too young to drive
But old enough to bleed
She got no place to hide
When they want to plant their seed

And when it starts to grow
She cannot say no
Her body’s not her own, no no no

Her body’s not her own
It belongs to all the men
Belongs to the state
To the government

Then one day it killed her
It got stuck inside her tube
The government told her doctor
There was nothing they could do

The doctor was arrested
For trying to save her life
The Supreme Court said
That's for the government to decide

She got a lovely headstone
If you can find it in the weeds
Says: "My Body's Now My Own
In the Land of the Free"

Her preacher is still preachin'
About how she tempted them
About that girl's deadly sin
Against all the holy men

She got a lovely headstone
If you can find it in the weeds
Says: "My Body's Now My Own
In the Land of the Free"
