lyrics

"A Power You'll Never Know"
Music & Lyrics by Linda Sussman © 2022

Keep your laws off my body
I’m not your church, I’m not yours to own
What stirs inside me
Is a power you’ll never know
There’s a storm movin’ sideways
‘Bout to unravel your throne

Things might not have been perfect
But they were workin’ pretty fine
At least there were options
You had yours, I had mine
Till the gavel came down
Dropped like a sinker and broke the line

We’ll find the answers we need
Won’t let the wind slow us down
We all know there’s an off-ramp
For the girls on the other side of town
We’ll find our way ‘round the mine fields
As we shout, “Foul, Foul, Foul”

In every story you hear
Told straight up with no gin
Not drunk with illusion
When it’s just her against him
Who’s left to hold the weight
Kept down with no way to win

Now, what I find sinful
Is how you pound your chest
A thin veneer of pretense
As if you gave a rat’s ass
And you use your religion
To strong-arm all the rest

Keep your laws off my body
I’m not your church, I’m not yours to own
What stirs inside me
Is a power you’ll never know
There’s a storm movin’ sideways
‘Bout to unravel your throne
