[ALICE] Let mother vote Just hold your fury in Maybe Carrie's right That's the only way we win She sounds just like my father "Please Alice Have some sense Don't you know that no one likes a girl who's too intense Don't get so defensive Alice, don't be so aggressive Settle down, you're too obsessive" I've heard it many times before But I don't wanna hear it anymore
I don't wanna have to compromise I don't wanna have to beg for crumbs from a country that doesn't care what I say I don't wanna follow in old footsteps I don't wanna be a meek little pawn in games they play I wanna march in the street I wanna hold up the sign With millions of women with passion like mine I wanna shout it out loud In the wide open light Till my generation has made things right Yes, I wanna know how it feels When we finally finish the fight
Should I try to take the lead alone But it's probably impossible Will my ideas just dwindle and die? Try to remember what your mother taught you When you dip your pen in ink you can't quit Till it runs dry You gotta kick down the doors Of the mightiest men Till they never dare to deny us again You've gotta disrupt their days Make a fire ignite No, our generation won't play polite Just picture the look in their eyes When we finally finish the fight
They'll say goodbye to the world My mother and grandmothers kne Will I truly be able to change it Well, if not me, then who? So I'll make my own team And I'll raise up my hands Till we're rewriting the law of the land And we'll offer our flag Purple, gold, and white Centuries of silence will end at night
There's this incessant unrest Crumbling deep in my chest And I'll never be free, nor complete, not unless I am there on the day When we finally finish the fight I'll be there on the day when we finally finish the fightTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
