Lyrics
My hands are tied
Your hands are too
Now we don’t know where to go
Don’t know what to do
They’re feeding lies
Starving the truth
Now we don’t know where to go
Don’t know what to do
Can’t deny, realize
We’ve been here before
History will repeat
Til we stop that revolving door
They told her to sit down
Told her to work hard
Told her to stop and wait her turn
They told her to, “Shut up! Listen!”
Nevertheless, SHE PERSISTED!
Take us to church
Tear us in two
We don’t know where to go
Don’t know what to do
Dress up the devil in
Red white and blue
We don’t know where to go
Don’t know what to do
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
Nasty women, rock the resistance (4x)
They tell us to sit down
Tell us to work hard
Tell us to stop and wait our turn
They tell us to shut up, listen!
Nevertheless
We are persistent
