shaina taub - finish the fight lyrics

[alice]
let mother vote
just hold your fury in
maybe carrie’s right
that’s the only way we win
she sounds just like my father
“please alice
have some sense
don’t you know that no one likes a girl who’s too intense
don’t get so defensive
alice, don’t be so aggressive
settle down, you’re too obsessive”
i’ve heard it many times before
but i don’t wanna hear it anymore

i don’t wanna have to compromise
i don’t wanna have to beg for crumbs from a country that doesn’t care what i say
i don’t wanna follow in old footsteps
i don’t wanna be a meek little p+wn in games they play
i wanna march in the street
i wanna hold up the sign
with millions of women with passion like mine
i wanna shout it out loud
in the wide open light
till my generation has made things right
yes, i wanna know how it feels
when we finally finish the fight
should i try to take the lead alone
but it’s probably impossible
will my ideas just dwindle and die?
try to remember what your mother taught you
when you dip your pen in ink you can’t quit
till it runs dry
you gotta kick down the doors
of the mightiest men
till they never dare to deny us again
you’ve gotta disrupt their days
make a fire ignite
no, our generation won’t play polite
just picture the look in their eyes
when we finally finish the fight

they’ll say goodbye to the world
my mother and grandmothers kne
will i truly be able to change it
well, if not me, then who?
so i’ll make my own team
and i’ll raise up my hands
till we’re rewriting the law of the land
and we’ll offer our flag
purple, gold, and white
centuries of silence will end at night
there’s this incessant unrest
crumbling deep in my chest
and i’ll never be free, nor complete, not unless
i am there on the day
when we finally finish the fight
i’ll be there on the day when we finally finish the fight
