Nobody’s Body But Mine (2:49): Let’s call the campaign to outlaw abortion in the United States what it is: A war against women.

lyrics

NOBODY’S BODY BUT MINE

There’s war in Afghanistan
War in South Yemen
War in Somalia
War still in Syria
They tell us all wars
Are far off and foreign
But in the United States
There’s a war against women

Take to the streets
Lift up your voice
Fight for your life
While you still have a choice
Tell them

Nobody’s body but mine
This is nobody’s body but mine
Tell them nobody’s body but mine
This is nobody’s body but mine

They bow down to laws
That protect private property
While a woman’s not safe
In the home or the factory
They tell us the courts
Are solemn and sacred
But in front of the law
Only women stand naked

CHORUS

Though manners and banners
Are often expedient
The most civil act
Is to be disobedient
It may be Ohio
Or in Mississippi
But no jail, no law
Will lock up our bodies

CHORUS (2x)
