ERA's
for everyone
© 1982 by Jim Andris
If you want to change a diaper, fellow, that's ok.
If you choose to be a dancer doesn't mean you're gay.
And if you want to love your fellow man instead of killing him,
Well, that's the better way.
We need ERA.
ERA's for everyone, men and women, too.
Human rights for everyone, them and me and you.
If you want to change a tire, lady, that's alright.
If you choose to be a doctor doesn't mean your white.
If you want to clear the streets of rape instead of yielding to it,
That's the valiant fight.
Let's take back the night.
ERA's for everyone, black and white folks, too.
Human rights for everyone, them and me and you.
Now if you want to wear an earring, mister, that's just fine.
And if you ride a bike, well, sister, why should someone mind?
'Cause I know folks who wear the finest clothes and yet despise each
other,
People, that's not kind.
Mister, I don't mind.
ERA's for everyone, gay and straight folks, too.
Human rights for everyone, them and me and you.
