Show Them Who You Are

I know it's hard, I understand

Of course, you're losing heart

We climb uphill for years, and still

It feels like we're right back at the start

But that's exactly how those crooked kings want us to feel

Too bad for them, they're up against a queen with a spine of steel

You are the bravest person I've ever met

I've never seen anything daunt you yet

So are you gonna let them win?

Or will you show them who you are?

Show them our brazen, unwavering dynamo

Show them who you are

Show them you'll rip 'em to shreds if they tell you, "No"

You think your nerve is about to give out

But the girl I see glows brighter than any star

So go show them who you are

Show them, show them who you are

Show them, show them who you are

No, no-no

I'm not going to let you Alice Paul me this time

My mind's made up, I'm not going

Okay, that's fine, go take a rest

Really? (Yes)

Enjoy a pleasant break

Sit on your butt and then do what exactly?

Read a novel?

Or learn to bake?

But when you tell your kids

What mama did when things grew dim

Don't you wanna say you

Faced the villain down and demolished him?

Or maybe you would rather give up your strike?

Let everyone think you just stood aside?

I guess if that's what you'd prefer

Let's show them who we are

Show them the stubbornest, bitches they'll ever see (ha)

Show them who we are

Show them they oughta be frightened of you and me

It'll be, they think our nerve is about to give out

But relinquishment's not in our repertoire

So go show them who we are

Damn it! Why are you the only person I can never turn down?

You'll thank me when we're toasting your triumph on election night

They think our nerve is about to give out

But instead of backing down

We'll raise the bar (we'll raise the bar)

We'll raise the bar

When we show them who we are

Show them, show them who we are

Show them who we are
