lyrics

It’s a slippery slope from cells to slaughter
Blood on the hand of someone’s daughter
If we don’t take control, this chaos will reign
So we’ve got to act, as much as we’re pained

It’s a dirty job but we’re the ones to do it
We’re His lambs and He always knew it

We alone will decide what is best for you
But we can be trusted through and through

All we want you to do
Is keep it if even it kills you

Thirty-five hundred on a trip to New Mexico
Had to make the journey 'cause the Abbott said No go
One state over and they say we're all loco,
Bounties on the doctors, driving women to KO
All my family needs, all my family bleeds,
No one knows the science because no one ever reads.
Can't escape the system 'cause we're dead before the deed
One election away when we vote in all the greed

I know that this may seem extreme
Like you’re trapped inside the worst of dreams
But we know what’s best, every life is blessed
Even if we’ll never help you with the rest

It’s a dirty job but we’re the ones to do it
We’re His soldiers and He always knew it

We alone will decide what is best for you
But we can be trusted through and through
Even if the majority don’t agree,
Our hearts are in the best place they could be

All we want you to do
Is keep it if even it kills you
All we want you to do
Is keep it if even it kills you
