lyrics

She said "Baby I'm pregnant"
He said "Darlin we'll have to get rid of it
Because I'm not ready to be a father
Whether it's a son or a daughter
It don't matter much"
She said "I can't pretend for a moment I'm really ok with this"
He said "To tell you the truth babe it ain't really about you anyways"

She said "I hate the goddamn clinic, even more than goin in it, it's those good ol christian critics standing outside.
And those cunts clutching their crosses while I'm forced to cut my losses I'm so terrified."
He said "Don't worry anymore babe I'll walk you to the door and if they say anything more than how ya doin, it's not like me to be violent but I won't sit back in silence while they tear you down"

The measure of a man doesn't lie in his command
Of a hundred thousand hands or a hundred nations
It doesn't lie within his youth or the color of his suits or his relations
It's pushing through the pain to watch your lover smile again
And if you don't know what I'm saying you ain't there yet
It's compassion for the kind that the world has left behind when it ain't easy.
