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.
