Martha - 1848, Yawning Discreetly lyrics

Liz Cady Stanton had the signature to beat So complex and beautiful and yet quite neat And with 99 beside her It still wasn't hard to find her Hope and anger in the ink and on the streets He has deprived, he has withheld He has usurped, he has compelled He has denied, and that's not right But when standing side by side This pattern doesn't seem so permanent tonight Old Freddie Dougla** had a word or two to say And as oratory goes well his was great He could speak the truth to power He could do it in an hour And that's really not a talent one should waste They have deprived, they have withheld They have usurped, the have compelled They have denied, and that's not right But when standing side by side This pattern doesn't seem so permanent tonight So take me to Seneca Falls And let me drown in it all Such onerous privilege Take me and make me sing Come on baby make me sing We've got a little bit of time And I'm ashamed to let mine slip away Into the listlessness and apathy and boredom that's engulfing everything So take me to Seneca Falls And let me drown in it all Such onerous privilege Take me and make me sing Come on baby make me sing
