Law Of The Land Lyrics

"Do you accept that?"

"That's the law of the land. I accept the law of the land, Senator, yes"

Look

Let's imagine you're drivin' and then you die

A tragic traffic collision has taken your little life

Your body's still in one piece but your neck has been snapped awry

A lifeless old piece of meat but your organs are lookin' fine

And maybe my buddy Mike could use a kidney that starts

Or maybe a child dies—unless you give him your heart

But if you just didn't decide that you'd donate your organ parts

Then the government can't invade you or take your body apart

So if you're a woman residin' in red, you won't believe it

There's greater body autonomy dead than when you're breathin'

'Cause these conservative justices care about all our semen

'Cause once it touches the ovum, they call it a human being!

And once that human is born, oh they love 'em! Guess how they treat 'em

They'll often fail to feed 'em, no medical care for free

And just wait 'til he gets to school—if he's lucky then he won't see

Either he or all his buddies get murdered mercilessly!

You see

FUCK SCOTUS for fannin' our every flame

Abandonin' legal precedent, panderin' to the states

Just appointed 'cause former President Orange will nominate

Any moron who'll disappoint us by lyin', equivocatin'

Like Gorsuch claimin' that Roe is the "law of the land" and nation

Or Kavanaugh's hazy statements and sexual allegations

So welcome to dear America, truly a special place

Where a man can assault a woman then rule on bodily space

FUCK SCOTUS

I said it you lousy, moronic fiends

Policin' Miranda rights, puttin' EPA on a leash

Now the public schools can be sites both for shootings and prayer scenes

So don't worry about your child—he's bleedin' but demon-free

But I'm thinkin' that Mr. Demon is threatenin' to impede

On these other kids' sexualities, hamperin' their beliefs

See if Julian favors Brian, it's evil, it bothers me

So I'll rule and I'll make it right by outlawing their marriage dreams

FUCK SCOTUS

"If you don't like it then travel to where it's legal"

I wonder just who can do that—can all American people?

Or is it only the privileged, the wealthier of the bunch

Who can travel to California while also payin' for lunch?

"Okay maybe use contraception, how difficult's that to do?"

Oh you maybe forgot to mention they wanna restrict that too!

See they might as well scratch the precedents, start it all up anew

And just put into law whatever bedevils our lives askew

Man I barely just scratched the surface of our grievances, views

If I wanted to say it all then I'd need me a Volume II

How the lives of so many millions rely on a measly few

Who opine that they're savin' children while splittin' women in two

If my mind is a scene replete with a forest of trees and dew

Then your lies are an herbicidal—a chorus of schemes abused

If we're wrong to defend the weak, then abhor us and hate us too

But as long as I'm free to speak then this chorus is what I'll spew

And it goes

FUCK SCOTUS

Fuck Thomas and Barrett too

Fuck Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Alito—I wish you knew

How with every passing moment our people painfully rue

All your pitifully trash appointments committed to "savin' youth"

While the youth of our very nation can't manage to get some food

And the children you claim to cherish can't manage to live at school

And we're sickened to watch 'em perish but all you idiots do

Is deliberate, think, and pray and then back to power abuse

FUCK SCOTUS

All hail the highest court of the land

With ultimate jurisdiction and power you'd never grant

To imbeciles old as shit with a mission to take a stand

Against liberty, rights, autonomy, freedom to have a hand

In what happens inside a body invaded by any man

If you're raped when you're held at gunpoint the fetus will have a chance

"You can't touch the Second Amendment"

"You shouldn't have worn those pants"

And in case you just didn't get it I'll belt it out once again

FUCK SCOTUS
