Lyrics
Slide the rug out from under me
Feeling destabilized or unsettled
Take away my reproductive rights
Stripped of the right to make choices about reproduction
I'm just an incubator
Perceived as merely a place for nurturing a fetus
Yeah, a vessel to create unwanted human life
Viewed as a vessel for bringing unwanted life into existence
Yeah take back laws, why don’t you
Requesting the reversal of laws that restrict choices
I’m sure you didn't have to try
Suggesting ease in imposing restrictions without understanding
Doesn’t matter if you did, anyway
Indicating insignificance even if effort is made to comprehend
‘Cause living here still makes me wanna fucking die
Expressing extreme dissatisfaction with the current situation
I’ll (I’ll make you)
Intending to evoke self-hatred in someone for their actions
Make (make you hate)
-You (hate yourself)
-Hate yourself for what you do
-I’ll (I’ll make you)
-Make (make you hate)
-You (hate yourself)
-Hate yourself just like I do
-Wanna talk about adoption
Proposing a discussion on adoption despite personal experience
When you’ve only ever had your own
Highlighting limited exposure to alternatives
Carry to term and risk my life
Emphasizing the risk associated with childbirth
To put kids in a system that’s already overrun
Criticizing an overwhelmed foster care system
Old men in black suits and red ties
Referencing figures of authority and conservatism
Where bigotry is all they’ve known
Accusing them of perpetuating falsehoods and harm
telling lies, and ruining lives
Attributing trauma to their actions and policies
And causing post-traumatic stress for everyone
-I’ll (I’ll make you)
Continued attempt to instigate self-loathing in someone
Make (make you hate)
-You (hate yourself)
-Hate yourself for what you do
-I’ll (I’ll make you)
-Make (make you hate)
-You (hate yourself)
-Hate yourself just like I do
-Pastors and politicians shake hands, exchange their cards
Criticizing the alliance between religious and political authorities
My bodily autonomy met with total disregard
-A quote-unquote “democracy” when all I see are oligarchs
-Blur the lines ‘tween lord and leader
-ALL HAIL THE PATRIARCH!
-I’ll (I’ll make you)
Repetition of inciting self-revulsion in an individual
Make (make you hate)
-You (hate yourself)
-Hate yourself for what you do
-I’ll (I’ll make you)
-Make (make you hate)
-You (hate yourself)
-Hate yourself just like I do
