You Live In This World Too Lyrics

Blue-eyed girl

A preacher's daughter

She got pregnant by her father

Now he don't want that baby being born

So she's off to another state

Stranded in a world of hate

But she'll survive and his secret won't be known

I'd hold my tongue if I was you

Before you ask what would Jesus do

You live in the world where Christian girls

Get abortions too

Golden boy

A senator's son

Just out to have some weekend fun

Now there's girl on the phone, he don't know her name

It's just as well, it's for the best

No he don't want to take the test

He'll pay in cash, there won't be no-one to blame

I'd hold my tongue if I was you

Before you ask what would Jesus do

You live in the world where respectable boys

Get abortions too

She might be your daughter

Your sister or your wife

Doing what she has to for the sake of her own life

And if it isn't you and no-one asked you what you think…

Foster child

With a four point o

She was always on the honor roll

No she's off to state school with the first-year blues

Frat house on a Friday night

She woke up underneath some guy

Doing something she didn't want him to

Now she's going to be a mama

With nothing but her high school diploma

No job no skill no place to run home to

I'd hold my tongue if I was you

Before you ask what would Jesus do

You live in the world

You live in the world

You live in this world too
