From Behind the Curtain

 

Im not sure if religion is really the thing for me
But everyone around expects christianity
I think everyone deserves rights
And to be treated equally
But to be "a liberal" down in the south
Is condemnation for me
I really dont want children
A career is what I seek
But others say they're such a joy
And insist I have two or three
Im not a saint or mother 
All I want is to be free
What I really truly have always wanted
Is simply to be me
