Romanovsky & Phillips - The Sodomy Song lyrics

(To all the courageous men and women who participated in the

Civil disobedience at the Supreme Court on October 13, 1987 to

Protest the court's ruling in Michael Hardwick's case and the

Sodomy laws which remain on the books in over 20 states.)

It's hard to believe in a land like this

That the freedom we think we have does not exist

Don't ask me why the cops and the Feds

Care in the least what we do in our beds

'Cause only an asshole would care

What goes into our assholes and who puts it there

And only a person who's really repressed

Would attempt to decide for the rest

Now Michael was entertaining a guest

When the officer walked right in and made the arrest

Who would have thought that the courts would uphold

An archaic law that's a hundred years old

But the danger's not what's in our mouths

It's the mouthful of bigotry which they espouse

Referring to God and the heavens above

To legislate how we make love

How can anyone disagree

With the fundamental right to privacy?

Something intrigues them, I don't know what

Why else would they want to keep track of my butt?

And why should anyone have a say

As to whom we should and shouldn't lay?

The think it's sinful, I think it sucks

Having laws that tell us how we should f...ornicate

We've got to repeal the laws that remain

'Cause what happened in Georgia must not happen again

So roll up your sleeves and join in the fight

We're not giving in 'til we've gotten our rights

'Cause we're being screwed all the time

By laws that make our way of screwing a crime

They're calling on years of oppression and shame

To justify more of the same

'Cause only an asshole would care

What goes into our assholes and who puts it there

And only a person who's really repressed

Would attempt to decide

But we can turn back the tide

By refusing to hide

When they attempt to decide for the rest
