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.
