Voices and Choices

There should have been a vote
Today you are the woman, tomorrow you're the man
no matter what you so believe, it isn't in Gods plan
No one's trying to chastise you, you should be left alone 
just don't push "it" in our face, we really aren't your clone

Supreme Court of the USA, turned country upside down
a "Socialist assembled Nine", we look at them and frown
You want to be a woman? but god made you a man
you've picked the women's locker room, now you, don't have to stand

Forget the others they don't count?  Takes "one" to spoil the pot
voting doesn't mean a thing, Supreme Court fair? It's not
My friends are from all walks in life, I'm sure that yours are too
no one's trying to change your mind, the same should go for you

Not sure, if you like everyone?  Oh, that would be so wrong
yet you'll have them bake a cake, and sing the same old song
I've never thought what you should be, it's never on my mind
that golden rule, yes we were taught, I hope you were in kind

I don't cater to the left, don't cater to the right
the children you've indoctrinated, what about their plight?
Tell them things they ask about? Things like "you and you?"
when they ask me "why is this?"  "My answer," will be true.....
