Every social movement in history has relied on singing together as a way of building solidarity and motivating action. The Raging Grannies are carrying on this tradition of protest singing. Anyone is welcome to use our song lyrics for protest. Bring some to your next demonstration and get the crowd to sing along. Revise the lyrics as needed.

Against the MAGA fascists we are standing strong

We shall stand for human rights

No nos moverán

THINGS THAT GO TRUMP IN THE NIGHT
Tune: My Favorite Things
Predators, kleptocrats looting our nation
vicious attacks on our very foundation
Fascistic gangsters assaulting our rights
These are some things
that go Trump in the night
Trashing due process and habeas corpus
flouting all laws as if they have no purpose
What kind of criminal thinks this is right?
These are some things
that go Trump in the night
He calls nations “shit hole countries”
if they’re not all white
Oh, he is an expert on shit holes, alright:
The things that go Trump at night!
[Pause 4 measures]
One-seventy billion for mass deportations
Three thousand daily: it’s terrorization
Neighbors are vanishing, friends disappear
Families torn apart, living in fear
Thugs roam our streets in their gaiters & camo
hunting the innocent, armed and with ammo
Raids in the shadows, they come for the meek
Who are these goons? Trump’s Secret Police!
We must stand up! We must speak out!
We’ll defend our rights!
For justice and liberty, we have to fight
the things that go Trump . . . at night!
TAKE YOUR BANS OFF MY BODY
Tune: Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Take your bans off my body
Leave my uterus alone
You have no right to say yea or nay
It’s my body and my final say!
And if I choose birth or abortion,
I’ll decide in my way
So keep out! Out! Out of my choice!
I don’t mess with your prostate,
I won’t try to castrate
I have respect for your privacy -
Li’l blue pills and your sex fantasies
What if you could find yourself pregnant?
You would holler, “No way!”
So keep out! Out! Out of my choice!
You can have no say!
So keep Out! Out! Out of my choice!
You can have no say!
MR TANGERINE MAN
Tune: Mr. Tambourine Man
Hey, Mr. Tangerine Man, stay away from me
You are creepy, and you are no good for anything
Hey, Mr. Tangerine Man, stay away from me
You’re a traitor to our nation ’cause you act like a king
You’re persecuting innocents, distracting from your crimes
when you should be doing time. Then viciously you slime
the officials who respect the Constitution
And when you get court orders, you blow them off, defy –
and smear the judge with lies:
You deflect, attack, deny and cause confusion
Hey, Mr. Tangerine Man, stay away from me
You are creepy, and you are no good for anything
Hey, Mr. Tangerine Man, stay away from me
You’re a traitor to our nation ’cause you act like a king
You love that ethnic cleansing, you support a genocide
yes, you’re even taking pride
in your plans to build resorts upon the ruins
A textbook case of psychopathy, you’ve no empathy
and you cannot even see how offensive you might be
’cause to you there’s only pawns, there are no humans
Chorus: Hey, Mr. Tangerine Man, stay away from me ...
You seem to think the rules we follow don’t apply to you
Nothing matters but your view,
we should accept your lies as true
And the world is only here to serve your cravings
And women are not people in your eyes, we’re only dolls
We should have no rights at all
Who are we to claim assault? – we’re only playthings
Chorus: Hey, Mr. Tangerine Man, stay away from me...
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL IN 2025
Oh beautiful for spacious skies
for amber waves of grain
for purple mountain majesty
above the fruited plain
America, America,
your mountains are on fire
your air and waters are defiled
your future’s looking dire
Oh beautiful for leadership,
for aid to those in need,
diplomacy around the world
That’s what we all believed
Instead we have imperial wars
with gutted homes and gore,
unspeakable atrocities
from bombs that we paid for!
Oh beautiful for grand ideals
of freedom, liberty
of equal justice under law
and true equality
America, America,
your values are in shreds
your constitution spat upon
your rule of law is dead
America, America,
We shed our tears for thee!
We’re going to take you back
and claim
our land of liberty!
WHEN CIVIL RIGHTS BELONG TO ALL Tune : When the Saints
1 When civil rights belong to all
When civil rights belong to all
We will make our nation better
When civil rights belong to all
2 Oh women’s rights are human rights
and racial rights are human rights
All religions, ages, and genders:
for them all we’re going to fight
3 Now poverty is violence
Denied healthcare is violence
We must care for all our people
Nothing less makes any sense
4 Our immigrants and refugees:
we’ve got to listen to their pleas
They have come here seeking refuge
Let us treat them all kindly
5 Treat everyone with dignity
and let’s get free from bigotry
Let us heal all forms of division
Let’s have real equality
6 Equality means everyone
It means we leave behind no one
We will end all forms of injustice
Dignity for everyone!
7 In common good we must invest
The good of all is what we stress
We all win when nobody loses
We’re all blessed when all are blessed
BATTLE HYMN OF THE DONALD
Mine eyes have seen the bungling
and the stumbling of the Trump
Pretending he’s a king
when we can see he’s just a chump
He lost sight of all reason
'cause his head is up his rump
The big boob blunders on
I’ve seen him cut the taxes
for the richest billionaires
While stealing from the working class
and causing great despair
He lets polluters have their way
with all our land and air
His wreckage will live on
Lordy! Lordy! How he'll screw ya!
With his lies he’ll try to fool ya
But, don’t ever let him rule ya!
No, we will not back down!
Mine ears have heard the smearing
and the slander from the right
defiling truth and honesty
and substituting spite
inventing Trumped-up charges:
nabbing people day and night
The hate is marching on
If you don’t like the genocide
they’ll send the Gestapo
& render you to Salvador or to Guantanamo
But we will fight them in the courts
and on the streets and more
And we will not back down!
Lordy! Lordy! How they’ll screw ya!
With their lies they try to fool ya
But, don’t ever let ‘em rule ya!
No, we will not back down!
ANGRY PEOPLE
Tune: Lonely People by America
This is for all the angry people
seeing democracy done-in
Don’t give up, we got to
march in the streets together
and keep on fighting ’til we win
This is for all the worried people
watching the news and feeling stunned
Don’t give up until we’ve
taken our country back
with equal rights for everyone
We The People say:
We are here to stay
and this movement grows every day
This is for all the migrant people
living in fear from day to day
Don’t give up, because you
have the support of many
who don’t want you to go away
We The People say:
We are here to stay
and this movement grows every day
This is for all the angry people
hating the tyranny we’re in
Don’t give up until we’ve
taken our country back
No, don’t give up until we’ve
taken our country back
Keep on fighting ’til we win
KING IN HIS MIND
Tune: King Of The Road (Roger Miller)
Country for sale or rent
Senators, 50 cents
MAGA has no regrets
Kristi Noem just shoots her pets.
About
nine years of pushing lies, you know,
that’s how our freedom dies.
He’s a
genius but he is not wise:
King in his mind
Guts health care & senior care
just to boost the billionaires
Tanks our economy,
worsens inequality. And he
sure likes those pedophiles:
covers up the Epstein files. Has a
face just like an orange rind:
King in his mind
He wears a balding comb-over
& and paint on his face
Uses brown people as meat for his base
All of his cabinet is a disgrace:
Bunch of nincompoops
on a wild goose chase. We sing,
Country for sale or rent
Senators, 50 cents
MAGA has no regrets.
You ain’t seen nothing yet. He says,
J-6 was a just a lark
His insanity is stark.
And he
sure can whine and malign:
King in his mind
'CAUSE YOU'RE UNINSURED
Tune: Button Up Your Overcoat
Skip the check ups that you need
Prices are absurd
Take good care of yourself
'cause you're uninsured
Bigger tax cut for the rich
are certainly preferred
over care of our health
so we're uninsured
The MAGA plan is this (oo – oo):
Don’t get sick! (oo – oo)
If you do, DIE QUICK! (oo – oo)
You can't have health
unless you have wealth, so . . .
Don't inhale near other folks
They have germs, I've heard
Take good care of yourself
'cause you're uninsured
STOP THE COUP
For What It’s Worth Buffalo Springfield
There’s something happening here
What it is, is perfectly clear
There’s a coup going down in DC
taking a chainsaw to everything we believe
It’s time to STOP! Hey! Stop the coup!
Everybody speak out bold and true!
Battle lines being drawn
They think they’re right
but we know they are wrong
The Constitution reads clear:
Saying we the people
don’t have kings ’round here
It’s time to STOP! Hey! Stop the coup!
Everybody speak out bold and true
Put your boots upon your feet
Join thousands marching in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
’cause our liberty is on the firing line
It’s time to STOP! Hey! Stop the coup!
Everybody speak out bold and true
STOP! Hey! Stop the coup!
Everybody speak out bold and true
STOP! Hey! Stop the coup!
Everybody speak out bold and true
STOP!
WE SHALL OVERCOME
We shall overcome
we shall overcome
we shall overcome some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
we shall overcome some day
We will raise our voices
We will raise our voices
We will raise our voices loud and clear
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome some day
Brave and strong together
Brave and strong together
Brave and strong are we together
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
Brave and strong together are we
Black and white together
Gay and straight together
Muslims, Christians, Jews together
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall live in peace some day
Immigrants and natives
Immigrants and natives
We shall live in peace and freedom
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall live in peace some day
Freedom is for everyone
Freedom is for everyone
Freedom is for every, everyone
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
Freedom is for everyone
