Meanwhile in Texas Songtext

Meanwhile in Texas Songtext
Hail Mary we′ve been here before
Shed these tears and fought this war
Things my mother struggled for the same wolf at the door
High and mighty in the supreme court, known abusers never caught
Snatched the rights for which we fought and now their word is law
Well did you never think what we might lose
Giving free rein to Fox News
And letting far right ideologies become normal points of view
We've been mourning for some time, the canary in the mine
But when they come for some of our rights, all the rest are next in line
Meanwhile in Texas, all the laws are on the side of just two sexes
So one may always be denied
And who will protect us, if we can′t find space tonight?
As we divide, and we debate, another rape survivor flees the state
Meanwhile in Texas, girls are gonna die
Time in Worth hasn't been the same
Those in power, those in pain
Those whose constant ceaseless aim is taking back our choice
To rule our bodies and our lives
Those who'd sooner see their wives be killed than be autonomized
So rise up and use your voice
And when you fight for Roe V Wade, when that frontline stand is made
Look around at who stands with you, when you meet that barricade
It won′t be fundamentalists out protesting the word "sis"
Yeah when we tear each other down, the winners are misogynists
Meanwhile in Texas, all the laws are on the side of just two sexes
So one may always be denied
And who will protect us, if we can′t find space tonight?
As we divide, and we debate, another rape survivor flees the state
Meanwhile in Texas, girls are gonna die
Meanwhile in Texas, girls are gonna die
Come on and tell me once again that you think I'm exaggerating
Come on and tell me once again that things will be okay somehow
You say the time for all, before the best at waiting
The fight for all our lives is here and now
Meanwhile in Texas, all the laws are on the side of just two sexes
So one may always be denied
And who will protect us, if we can′t find space tonight?
As we divide, and we debate, another rape survivor flees the state
As we divide, and we debate, and we give space to lies and hate
As we divide, and we debate, another rape survivor flees the state
Meanwhile in Texas, girls are gonna die tonight
In Texas, girls are gonna die
Shed these tears and fought this war
Things my mother struggled for the same wolf at the door
High and mighty in the supreme court, known abusers never caught
Snatched the rights for which we fought and now their word is law
Well did you never think what we might lose
Giving free rein to Fox News
And letting far right ideologies become normal points of view
We've been mourning for some time, the canary in the mine
But when they come for some of our rights, all the rest are next in line
Meanwhile in Texas, all the laws are on the side of just two sexes
So one may always be denied
And who will protect us, if we can′t find space tonight?
As we divide, and we debate, another rape survivor flees the state
Meanwhile in Texas, girls are gonna die
Time in Worth hasn't been the same

As we divide, and we debate, another rape survivor flees the state
Meanwhile in Texas, girls are gonna die tonight
In Texas, girls are gonna die
