Swamp Kittens (Radio Edit) Lyrics

Imagine there's this fellow on the edge of the Everglades

He wanders in. Sees an alligator. Now some folks call them swamp kittens

That gator's just lying in the sun

The fellow, he's doing okay, but he is wracked with

Ambition and greed

He hides and stares

Thinking what he could do

If that gator was out of his way

I thought I heard if a gator you see

Best move on now, best let them be free

There are some folks who think they're smarter

There are some folks who want the gator in a pan

There are some folks who are just plain mean

Who want to control as much as they can

I thought we knew that having a baby

Is not easy, there's no guarantee

There are some folks who think they're purer

Some folks think a woman is less than a man

There are some folks who are just plain mean

Who want to control as much as they can

They've been messin' with the women

They've been messin' with what women had

The right that's theirs we know who took it

I know they're waking up: the swamp kittens

It's judgement day now you're at that throne

I guarantee oh, the angels will groan

You'll be asked feed the hungry, what did you do

And you'll say, made a rule, I thought you saw

And you'll be asked shelter homeless, what did you do

And you'll say sued a woman as per some man's law

Now I'm a guy, and women don't need me

To patronize, or speak for them certainly

I'm just saying, you know when life begins

Burn your candles on your conception day

I'm just saying, if you're so pro-life

Don't you take life-saving healthcare away

They've been messin' with the women

They've been messin' with what women had

The right that's theirs we know who took it

I know they're waking up: the swamp kittens

I thought I heard you should mind yourself

I thought I heard if someone you see

I thought I heard judge not lest ye be judged

So let them be, best let them be free

They've been messin' with the women

They've been messin' with what women had

The right that's theirs we know who took it

I know they're waking up: the swamp kittens

They'll be wide awake

Come ballot box day

I hope they bite a few butts

Send some, uhhhhhhhhhh

Fellows

On their way
