Lyrics

Hey, Mr. Politician
Ac 2004 written by Ellen Bukstel
Hey, Mr. Politician don't legislate my love
You're not walkin in my shoes
Don't hide behind your religion
It's my right to marry whom I choose
It's not your place to call me a sinner
Or decide who to have as my mate
Don't twist the words of the bible
To make laws that discriminate
Hey, Mr. Politician there's no debate
We already separated church and state
Your religion should never abuse
Or take away my freedom to choose
Hey, Mr. Politician don't legislate my body
You're not walkin in my shoes
Don't hide behind self righteousness
It is my right not to give birth if I choose
It is not your place to turn back the clock
To a time when I had no voice
Don't try to take away my right
To have freedom of choice
Hey, Mr. Politician there's no debate
We already separated church and state
Your religion should never abuse
Or take away my freedom to choose
Hey, Mr. Politician don't legislate my death
You're not walkin in my shoes
Don't hide behind your anxious fear
It is my right to die when I choose
It is not your place to decide
How much pain I should have to endure
I alone will choose my time to go
When my disease has no cure
Hey, Mr. Politician there's no debate
We already separated church and state
Your religion should never abuse
Or take away my freedom to choose
Hey, Mr. Politician don't send me to war
You're not walking in my shoes
Don't hide behind a battle
That's not worth the lives we lose
It's not your place to lead your crusade
That teaches our children to fight
O'say can you see the price we've paid
In death by the dawn's early light
Hey, Mr. Politician there's no debate
We already separated church and state
Your religion should never abuse
Or take away my freedom to choose
