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 sex if youre not married, finally, out goes sex!
Put the prayers back in the schools, install "parochiaid,"
Allow for corporal punishment, and then you got it made!
Chorus: Were 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 hes forced to beat her, its all for her own good
She must know what her limits are, as any woman should.,
(chorus)
3. The next to go is daycare,
its all a commie plot!
What could be more fulfilling than a child, wanted or not?
A womans world is housework, God wanted it that way
A salaried job degrades her since she never works for pay
(chorus)
4. They teach us womens lot is "love honor and obey"
And while their crusty notions seem like jokes to us today,
Theyre sitting in the Capitol, theyre voting on our lives
If we dont 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 thats based on true democracy
And build a world thats based on true equality!
Ah person!

that it is our homegrown zealots who worry me far more than those across the oceans. no muslim has ever threatened or assaulted me, or sent death threats, as any number of our own fundies have.

than anything that might be imported. The counter to "Islamic" theocracy is not Xtian theocracy. The real answer is secular government, where religion is allowed but not catered to.

(3,150 posts)7. I think it's jealousy
they are truly envious of what the OTHER nutcases have been able to do.
A pox on both their houses.
