Kristin Lems - Days of the Theocracy lyrics

Days of the Theocracy Words and music by Kristin Lems © 1979, 2005, 2015 Kleine Ding Music (BMI) First they fight abortion, birth control is next Then comes s** if you're not married, finally, out goes s**! Put the prayers back in the schools, install "parochiaid," Allow for corporal punishment, and then you got it made! Chorus: We're going back, back to the good ole days When men were really men and women knew their place Back, back a couple of centuries And welcome back the days of the theocracy! 2. The family is so holy, there must be no divorce And if a wife is not content, she must adjust, of course And if he's forced to beat her, it's all for her own good She must know what her limits are, as any woman should., (chorus) 3. The next to go is daycare It's all a commie plot! What could be more fulfilling than a child, wanted or not? A woman's world is housework, God wanted it that way A salaried job degrades her since she never works for pay (chorus) 4. They teach us women's lot is "love honor and obey" And while their crusty notions seem like jokes to us today They're sitting in the Capitol, they're voting on our lives If we don't stop them soon, our freedom will not long survive! Alt chorus: No going back, back to the bad ole days... When men were really masters and women were their slaves Let's go ahead, ahead for future centuries And build a world that's based on true democracy And build a world that's based on true equality! Ah – person!
