They criticized the fuss we made each time the news made us afraid,
About the risk to Roe v. Wade But we were right to be so dismayed:
(what’s happening?)
I don't wanna go back to 1950
When women's rights were really just the dregs
We couldn't raise our voices or have reproductive choices
Besides crossing our fingers or our legs
They’re taking us back to 1950
About respecting Roe as precedent they lied
But now they whine and shriek about this horrible leak
I guess the right to privacy’s only for their side.
If these right-wingers prevail, we will see The Handmaid's Tale
Won’t be fiction in a future not so distant
Passing hateful laws that vex lives
Cause they’re obsessed with people’s sex lives
Could it be because their own are non-existent. (and it’ll even be harder for those shmoes to get laid when they make birth control illegal!)
They’re trying to go back to 1950
And now other rights are in jeopardy we’ve learned
Marriage equality, birth control, jeez, these jerks are on a roll.
Why even Susan Collins is concerned
I thought that we'd evolved and these issues had been resolved
But from Ohio to Texas to North Carolina
New bans will pass before long So it's time another song
Tho I'm running out of words that rhyme with vagina
I don’t wanna go back to 1950
It’s a nightmare from which there seems no escape
You know things are truly bent when they’ve made the punishment
Even worse for abortion than for rape
How much further right will we tilt from the Court that Dark Money Built
At least this’ll rev our motors & create single issue voters
Who will march and yell and fume Get the hell out of my womb
End this attack, we won’t go back to 1950 (Thank God we can vote; at least for now)
