NINA GORDON - Suffragette lyrics

("I'll make history," the suffragette said

"I'm clever, to do this forever")

You don't know me yet

But I'm a suffragette

I suffer for your sins and wash them all away

Some kind of Jesus Christ

Check out my sacrifice

A pretty poison flower bring you the sweetest juice

And you'll remember me

Making history

Just you wait, just you wait and see

("I'll make history," the suffragette said

"I'm clever, to do this forever")

So don't try to stone me

You don't own me, and baby you don't know me yet

Don't try to break me

You can't take me

Cause baby I'm a suffragette

My mama said to me,

"Be what you want to be."

"Just take your time, enjoy the ride along the way"

And you'll remember me

Making history

Just you wait, just you wait and see

So don't try to stone me

You don't own me, and baby you don't know me yet

Don't try to break me

You can't take me

Cause baby I'm a suffragette

You cannot fight me

You don't have to like me

You don't even know me yet

Don't try to break me

You can't take me

Cause baby I'm a suffragette

It's like you fell asleep in a cab and woke up in another land

And everything's changed

But it's okay-- it's better this way

So come along girls, without hesitation

Change the channel baby, try another station

I'll fill you up with a sense of elation

I'll build you up with a sex education

So don't try to stone me

You don't own me, and baby you don't know me yet

Don't try to break me

You can't take me

Cause baby I'm a suffragette

You cannot fight me

You don't have to like me

You don't even know me yet

Don't try to break me

You can't take me

Cause baby I'm a suffragette
