Now we sing for women’s unity,
we raise our voices loud
to support our sisters everywhere:
we’re women and we’re proud!
We are sisters if our skin is black,
or white or red or brown
We stand against all forms of hate,
and we will not back down
Women power! The patriarchy’s done!
We unite in solidarity,
for women’s time has come!
There are women-hating men
who’ve taken power across the land
They’ve legalized misogyny,
just like the Taliban
We’ll show them that our rights
will not be taken or postponed
Our bodies are off-limits:
they're a government-free zone
Women power! The patriarchy’s done!
We unite in solidarity,
for women’s time has come!
We are fearless and impassioned
and invincible and strong
We’ll build a new democracy
where everyone belongs
We’ll put progressives at its helm
and caring at its core
and never raise our children
to be fodder for men’s wars
Women power! The patriarchy’s done!
We unite in solidarity,
for women’s time has come!
Women power! We will not be ignored
We’re a force that must be reckoned with
We’re women: hear us ROAR!!
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
You can have no say!
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!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the fire of women's rage,
kept smoldering for centuries, now flaming in this age
We won’t go back to hangers and we will not be enslaved!
We’ll keep on marching on!
Now women-hating men attempt to occupy the land
They legalize misogyny just like the Taliban
They’re terrorizing women and they’re called Republicans
Their tyranny be damned!
Rise up, women! Join together!
Solidarity forever!
We shall not retreat – not ever!
For women’s time has come!
Religious zealots bully women with Medieval rules
They think they’re doing “God’s work”
but they’re only being tools:
stooges for the power brokers – and they’re bloody cruel!
But us they will not rule!
They want to take us back
to when the only rights were men’s
They want to choose how many kids we have & even when
And what we wear, from burkas to bikinis, just for them
These edicts we condemn!
Rise up, women! Join together!
Solidarity forever!
We shall not retreat – not ever!
For women’s time has come!
So listen, boys, our rights will not be taken or postponed
Our bodies are off-limits: they're a government-free zone
My bedroom and my right to choose are mine and mine alone
No, we shall not be owned!
The patriarchy’s over now; we claim our rightful pow’r
Let’s build a new society, with caring at its core
and never raise our children to be fodder for men’s wars
For women’s time has come!
Rise up, women! Join together!
Solidarity forever!
We shall not retreat – not ever!
For women’s time has come!
The freedoms and rights that we know
They ain’t necessarily so
We always expected our rights were respected
It ain’t necessarily so
For years they were packing the courts
to make it a crime to abort
& all the Republicans just like to drub women:
crushing our rights is a sport
Alito said, “Nix privacy!”
He likes to see brutality
Beer Brett is a fool, Clarence Thomas a tool
They seem to love theocracy
And judge Amy Coat-hanger Barrett
was rammed through regardless of merit
‘cause she was selected to betray her sex
She’s a partisan hack like the rest
We’re under attack - this is war!
Our lives are what we’re fighting for!
What we need this hour are women in power
to show all the sexists the door!
Come gather ‘round people, we want you to hear
about losing the freedoms we’ve come to hold dear
Religious Supremes work to turn back the years
And the harm that they do is wide-ranging
Now it’s time for our protests to shift into gear
For the laws they are a-changing!
Now five right-wing zealots presume to decree
that our laws must be based on defunct history
1789 is the year that they see
as the golden age they’re re-creating:
back before civil rights when just rich men were free
But it’s they who should be changing!
Young women who grew up with freedoms don’t know
how savage it gets under right-wing control
But we who lived through it, our battle scars show:
there’s a reason for all of this raging
There isn’t a bottom to how low they’ll go
and the laws, they are a-changing!
Step by step and ever forward
though the road be dark and long
Keep on marching ever forward
Women of the world, be strong!
For our sisters ev-er-y-where
we lift up our voices, make them ring
Women of the world together
For the rights of all, we sing
We shall end the pain and sorrow,
drive the dark of fear away
Help our sisters claim their power
We begin anew today
It’s our time to claim victory
together we join to light the night!
Open doors ‘till all are free
Oh, women of the world unite!
Step by step and ever forward
Onward ‘til we’ve won the fight
Arm in arm, we’re strong together
women of the world unite!
They’re intent on killing free-e-doms,
and it’s more than Roe v. Wade
They want state control of women
and they want us all afraid
They assault female autonomy
and it’s more than forcing birth
‘cause they see us as their property
and our lives do not have worth
When they talk about the “right to life,”
they mean fetuses unborn
After birth some babies have no rights
and the mother’s life is scorned
If they cared about life’s ”sanctity”
they’d end massacres in schools,
end the homelessness and poverty -
But instead they’re just plain cruel
We must start a revolution
to reclaim our civil rights
We will stop this persecution
And it’s gonna be a fight
We will not live in the Handmaid’s Tale
We refuse to be abused
We will not be terrorized by males
We’ll be free to live and choose!
