What shall we do with a useless congress?
What shall we do with a spineless congress?
What shall we do with a lawless congress?
Vote them out of power!
Way, way up we’re rising
Way, way up we’re rising
Way, way up we’re rising
We reclaim our power!
Ban the corruption and insider trading
Ban dark money from decision making
Ban injustice and ban the hating
We deserve much better!
Way, way up we’re rising [X3]
We reclaim our power!
Make them work for all the people
Not the corporate moneyed evil
Make them work for all the people
We’re the ones who matter!
Way, way up we’re rising [X3]
We reclaim our power!
What shall we do with a failing White House?
What shall we do with a crooked White House
What shall we do with a fascist White House?
Vote them out of power!
Way, way up we’re rising [X3]
We reclaim our power!
Way, way up we’re rising [X3]
Register and VOTE!
I’m gonna go down and cast my vote (clap-clap)
down at the polling place (clap-clap)
down at the polling place (clap-clap)
down at the polling place
I’m gonna go down and cast my vote (clap-clap)
down at the polling place
and suffer fools no more!
I ain’t gonna suffer fools no more
I’ll raise my voice, now hear me roar
Crooks and liars I abhor
The people’s will they can’t ignore
This land is mine as well as yours
Ain’t gonna suffer fools no more!
I’m gonna go down and cast my vote
down at the polling place [etc.]
I’m gonna go down and cast my vote
down at the polling place
and suffer fools no more!
I ain’t gonna suffer fools no more
We’re gonna show those fools the door
Democracy we will restore
Let’s put an end to all the wars
Let’s tax the rich and feed the poor
Ain’t gonna suffer fools no more!
I’m gonna go down and cast my vote
down at the polling place [etc.]
I’m gonna go down and cast my vote
down at the polling place (clap clap)
[Slowly:] And suffer fools no more!
Sittin’ pretty, in your black gowns
sittin’ pretty like serious clowns
With every case you hear you twist
the Constitution up in your fists
You’re no good, you’re no good,
you’re no good, SCOTUS, you're no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good, you’re no good,
you’re no good, SCOTUS, you're no good
To voting rights, you took an axe
and sent the nation tumbling back
You stomp all over the female sex
When will you take your feet off our necks?
You’re no good, you’re no good, [etc.]
Corruption reigns, because of you
Citizens United was a cold-blooded coup
you opened the floodgates for bribery
Corporations broke democracy
You’re no good, you’re no good, [etc]
You gave that crook immunity,
so he breaks the law with impunity
Checks and balances are history
You’ve unleashed a monstrosity
You’re no good, you’re no good, [etc]
Our grandmas fought to get the vote a hundred years ago
but folks of color had to keep on fighting even more
Today we fight an evil push to take our rights away
Not one step back! No way!
They want to take us back to when the rich men ruled the land,
when women, blacks & poor folk from the voting booth were banned
But this is our democracy, and this is our demand:
Not one step back! No way!
Voting’s how we make our choices
Voting’s how we raise our voices
Vote suppression is their ploy – yet:
Not one step back! No way!
They gerrymander us right off the map – it’s how they play
They kick us off the rolls if we just look a certain way
They want to kill democracy, and that is why we say:
Not one step back! No way!
We’ve got to join together, brown and yellow, black and white,
progressives and the union folks, and fight with all our might
to show the fascist wannabes they cannot take our rights!
Not one step back! No way!
Voting’s how we make our choices
Voting’s how we raise our voices
Vote suppression is their ploy, yet –
Not one step back! NO WAY!
Democracy is under siege:
our very right to vote
imperiled by Republicans –
the lies that they promote
America, America,
don’t let the fascists win!
Unite and fight for voting rights!
Together we must win!
If all the citizens can vote,
Republicans will lose.
They know their policies are trash
that voters just won’t choose
And so they scam and rig and cheat,
and purge the voter rolls,
and gerrymander and restrict
our access to the polls
So everyone, let’s rally ‘round -
democracy’s at stake!
Let’s kick the fascist crazies out
right now, for freedom’s sake!
America, America,
don’t let the fascists win!
Unite and fight for voting rights!
Together we must win!
