Let mother vote just hold your fury in

Maybe carrie's right and 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 no footsteps

I don't wanna be a meek little one in games they play

I wanna march in the street

I wanna hold up a sight

There's millions of women with passion like mine

I wanna shout it out loud in the wide open light

Till our 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

What is probably impossible

Well my ideas just dwindle and die

Try to remember what your mother taught you

When you're deep you're bending it you can't quit

Till it runs dry

You've gotta kick down the doors of the mightiest man

Till they never dare to deny us again

You've gotta disrupt their deeds

Make a fire ignite

No heart in a wreck it won't play but light

Just picture the look in their eyes

But we finally finished the fight

Don't say goodbye to the world

My mother and grandmothers know

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 head

Till we're rewriting the law of the land

And we'll all swirl our flood

Purple gold and white

The centuries of silence will ebb 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 fight
