Who Gave You the Right


I may be a woman Who doesn't love a man But who gave you the right To tell me that I can't Marry that beautiful girl Over across the way Who gave you the right To tell me I'm not gay Who said you could Tell me how to love To take away my rights And generations to come Who said I couldn't be a mother And give a child life Because it isn't right Who said you could tell YOUR son To call me a Fag Who gave you the right To bully me in school Who gave you the right to tell me I'm a sinner What are you a saint? I'm just a person Like you or anyone else So why are my rights non existent And your the one Who calls out in hate and fear Who gave you the right To tell me how to live Who gave you the right To tell me how to live
