lyrics

Doesn't it make you angry, spending your time and energy
Fighting for what you know should be yours, automatically yours?

It's a hell of a revelation the day when a woman finally sees
That this greatest of all democracies was
Not designed with her in mind

But we can change all that; we're gonna set women free
Yes, we can change all that with just a little time
Oh, we can change all that; come along with me
Up where the air is rarified; the view is well worth the climb

Now what the founding fathers were all about
Conveniently left the founding mothers out
A nation where half aren't free
Isn't good enough for you and me

We're supposed to be grateful for second best
Asking nothing more than a well-filled nest
And where are the men who care
That women get their fair share?

Well, we can change all that; we're gonna set women free
Yes, we can change all that - I mean the status quo
Oh, we can change all that; come along with me
Where women can be anything
Hey, you wanna watch us grow?

I have a dream I know you share
And if the goddess will listen to our prayer
She's gonna help us turn this world around

Women are buds just about to bloom
Move over, fellas, give us elbow room
Every flower needs its place in the sun
There is space enough for everyone
No more races that only men can run

We're gonna change all that!
