Smile For Your Life
We are not safe / Owned by the state / Their bodies, their choices / They'll remove all our voices.
Wish I may,
Wish I might,
He's holding a knife
So smile for your life.
/
No time to run,
No time to hide,
His hand's on your thigh,
So smile for your life.
/
Parking lots,
All darkened spots,
Keeps pouring shots,
Smile for your life.
/
Short skirts,
Too many words,
This is gonna hurt,
So smile for your life.
/
We are not safe,
Owned by the state.
Their bodies, their choices,
They'll remove all our voices.
/
Six people we didn't elect,
Put shackles around our necks.
Don't you tell me I'm crazy,
They'll come for you next.
/
Up and down,
Down and up,
Republicans don't give a fuck
So smile for your life.
/
Left and right,
Right and left,
Enjoy the free time you have left,
Meanwhile we'll smile for our lives.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
