So I went to see Morrissey last night and it was fantastic...
But...
Right before he came on, a song was playing over the PA... fast new-wavey type thing with a man singing... only lyrics I could catch was a refrain going something like "I use my body my own way"... can anyone help me identify this song?

It's my body and my body
Is nobody's business but my own
Listen to me people
'Cause I wanna let it be known
It's my body and my body's
Nobody's business but my own
I know what I'm doing
So why don't you leave me alone
It's my body and my body's
Nobody's business but my own
I'm a grown up woman
And I know who I am
So if you got a problem
Well I don't give a damn
Ain't no doubt about it
'Cause baby it's written in stone
It's my body and my body's
Nobody's business but my own
I've had it up to here
With all you holier-than-thous
Who want to save me from the devils wicked den
Quit shoutin' in my ear
With All your curses and your vows
I only wish I never had to hear
Your voices again
Don't quote me no commandments
Don't preach me no jive
There's only one commandment
Thou shall survive
You don't even know me
So why don't you leave me alone
It's my body and my body's
Nobody's business but my own
Maybe you don't like it
But baby it's written in stone
It's my body
Not your bodyAnd my body
Is my business
My business
Is my business
And nobody's business
But my own

i dunno, that is what showed up when i googles the lyrics, i think it is a abortion rally fight song.

Thanks... but I don't think that's it. I think it's more of a 70s/80s homoerotic indie song.
