Why do you call yourself a Witch?  Why do you dress yourself in black?
Why don't you use some other word and get the devil off your back?

I call myself a Witch because a Witch is what I am,

Like a Jew in Nazi Germany 

I don't define my name to fit the master plan

The propaganda man, never again, never again

Why do you call yourself a Witch, you know we just don't understand
People will say you're sinister, you know they'll say your soul is damned

I call myself a Witch because I don't believe the lie

That the Creator is a macho man

Who wants to tell me what to do until I die

For pie in the sky, that's such a lie, that's such a lie


I don't believe in Satan, he's a poor excuse for Pan
I'm a child of holy Mother Earth
And I'm gonna stand up to the propaganda man
In every way I can

Why do you call yourself a Witch, such a pretentious fantasy
Magic is just a childhood dream, come on and face reality

I call myself a Witch because I'm not afraid to tell

That the magic is in life itself

Not just in some ancient book or secret spell

And I know damn well that there's no Hell

Except the Goddess of that name...

No, the devil doesn't turn me on, he's too much of a chauvinist pig
No self-respecting feminist would be caught dead around a masculine ego that big

Why do you call yourself a Witch and talk of Witchcraft openly?
Wicca's a nice disguise to use when you're in mixed company

I call myself a Witch because there's power in the word

There's power in the truth about 

What we really feel and who we really are

Live by the Star and you'll go far

Why do you call yourself a Witch?

Because a Witch is what I am
Why do you call yourself a Witch?

Because a Witch is what I am
