Thirty Pieces of Silver

the Texas abortion law

 

Thirty Pieces of Silver

 

 

 

It gets the job done, through a legal contortion

this bill they enacted outlawing abortion

The outlawing part wasn’t such a surprise

but I never expected they’d deputy-ize

the church-going folks to inform on the others

according to Jesus, their sisters and brothers.

The informer receives a kind of blood money

You and I know there ain’t nothing funny

‘bout ten thousand dollars

Buy a car or a boat or a beautiful chariot

ride around in it like Judas Iscariot.
