[CARRIE] This girl This entitled little- hmm... Calm down, Carrie But this girl, this Alice Paul What gall to call me an old fogey Since when am I an old fogey She thinks I'm obsolete, she ought'a kiss my feet I lit the way for her, but no, she thinks she knows better Don't let her get to your head, focus on your speech instead
What was I thinking enabling her I should've heeded the doubts I had from the start She's undeniably smart but so misguided I've labored for decades to craft a conservative image for suffrage But shе makes us look like a horde of hystеrical [?] With smoke blowing out of our ears What if she ruins what I have been mounting for years I did not count on this girl This girl
I can't believe I am now viewed as the old guard And she as the beacon of change Me, the old fogey How strange... This girl
Not this girl, raised by a penniless drunk Who refused to send her to school Not this girl, who paid her own way through college Proving she's nobody's fool Who worked as the first woman superintendand Harassed by her boss, but managed to thrive Who married a man for a good reputation Then found herself widowed at age 25 Not this girl who flouted all feminine custome By joining the fight for the vote Not this girl who followed the lead of the movement Hiding her anger beneath her penny coat Who rose through the ranks by paying her dues And earned her place at the top Who transformed and expanded the organization And she's yet to stop
Not this girl you see before you now Who stands by each move that she's made This old fogey's time has come Woman's time has come I fought my whole goddamn life For respect for my sex And I will no longer allow This arrogant child to imperil our chance to be free Not me Not this girlTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
