Go The Suffragette Song lyrics

Words and Music: Amy Ray

Note: This song is a reincarnation of Problem Child



Through the dustbowl through the debt

Grandma was a suffragette

Blacklisted for her publication

Blacklisted for my generation

Go, go, go



Raise your hands, raise your hands high

Don`t take a seat don`t stand aside

This time don`t assume anything

Just go, go, go



So feed the fire and fan the flame

I know the kids can stand the rain

I know the kids are still upsetters

Cause rock is cool but the struggle is better

I said go, go, go



Raise your hands, raise your hands high

Don`t take a seat don`t stand aside

This time don`t assume anything

This time don`t assume anything

I said go, go, go



The truth is I was afraid . . .

. . .I felt inferior. . .

. . .I felt I excelled in competing with others

And I knew instantly that these people

Were not competing at all, that they were acting in a

Strange, powerful trance of movement together.

And I was filled with longing to act

With them and with the fear that I could not.



Did they tell you it was set in stone

And that you would end up alone

Use your years to psych you out

You`re too old to care, they`re too young to count

Did they tell you you would come undone

If you tried to touch the sun

Undermine the underground

You`re too old to care they`re too young to count

I said go, go, go
