It's My Baby (to the tune of "It's My Party")
No one knows where I can go
I'm running out of time
Family and friends are a no-show
Why is my body the site of a crime?
It's my baby, and I'll kill it if I want to
Kill it if I want to, kill it if I want to
You would kill it too if pregnancy was forced on you
Weighing my options, keep thinking all night
Leave me alone for now
Unless you know who can help,
Who's got the wherewithal and know-how
It's my baby, and I'll kill it if I want to
Kill it if I want to, kill it if I want to
You would kill it too if pregnancy was forced on you
Police and social workers busting through the doors
Fascists with guns and expertise
Ignore plaintive cries
Treat me like a social disease
It's my baby, and I'll kill it if I want to
Kill it if I want to, kill it if I want to
You would kill it too if pregnancy was forced on you
