LYRICS:
Who changed the world? Girls. Girls!
Who changed the world? Girls. Girls!
Who changed the world? Girls. Girls!
Who changed the world? Girls. Girls!
​
Who are we? Suffragettes.
We changed the world.
(We changed it, changed it.)
​
Who am I? Mrs Tubman.
I changed the world
(We changed it, changed it.)
​
Who am I? Johanna Ferrour.
I changed the world.
(We changed it, changed it)
​
We want to vote just like the men
But will they let us? No, they won't.
I want the slaves to all go free
But do they free us? No, they don't.
​
I am Rosa, I'm not moving.
I know what I'm worth.
​
Johanna Ferrour, because I'm poor
Joined the Peasants' Revolt!
​
I'm protesting, baby
Nor sitting 'cos I'm lazy
We started the revolt because we
Couldn't afford to feed our babies
​
Men, we're not playing
We won't be ladies
We get what we want
Don't need a man to save me
​
Who changed the world? Girls. Girls!
Who changed the world? Girls. Girls!
Who changed the world? Girls. Girls!
Who changed the world? Girls.
​
Who are we? What do we want?
To change the world.
(And help free my people)
​
Who are we? What do we want?
To change the world.
(Starting a Peasants' Revolution)
​
Who are we? Yeah we'll fight.
To change the world.
(Stop my people's persecution)
​
We all want to change the world.
Who changed the world? Girls.
