You always thought your body was yours,
and so is the desition you take on it's cours.
Well let me tell you you are wrong.
I can proove it, my case is strong.

Your body is a vehicle, a home, a nest.
And in there is all sorts of things, even the brewing of pests.
You feed them and care for them, and make them at home,
and all the while you think you are alone!!

And when you realise that you dont want other things to share,
you turn for help, they call it medical care.
You tell them that you want this out,
and then they give you a zillion reasons to make you doubt.

Now you thought you would go to the people who knows,
they just look and say:"UNTILL I SAY SO NOTHING GOES"
*Now* what happened to that body that is yours?
Who make the decision about your guests next main course?

I have one of these, they took over slowly but sure,
and I want them gone, there is a way, a harsh cure.
But now I am told that *that* cant be done,
for  I have no say, I have to follow orders from another one.

He does not live in this body of mine,
he does not know what I am feeling really at any time.
He does not care cus why should he,
he is still making a pretty penny!!

I cannot even retaliate, I cannot fight or say I wont
for if I do, "he" says h no you dont.
I have others to think of in this play,
and for them I have to live another day.

So now I gonne let them take my body,
and make of it a good bunch of money,
Just so that they do in the end what I asked today,
and me and my body in the mean time has to pay!!!
