Don't believe that our minds have changed
And our basic demands haven't stayed the same.
We still have a debt that we need to repay
To the suffragettes who've paved our way.
I know you like to think that times have changed
But we're not represented in parliament or pay.
Our voices are lost in a masquerade and now we have to fight to have our say.
But if you're never here, never here, to say,
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice, nor do they sit and wait.
But if you're never here, never here, to say,
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice, nor do they sit and wait.
There are a million reasons why we need to talk;
We can organise and sympathise and gather our thoughts.
Some alarms don't sound in 4/4 time,
Some problems aren't within our peripheral lines.
I would like to know if you're still there and if so,
Can we talk about those plans that we had for tomorrow? Oh-oh, oh-oh, until we try we won't know.
But if you're never here, never here, to say,
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice, nor do they sit and wait.
But if you're never here, never here, to say,
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice, nor do they sit and wait.
But if you're never here, never here, to say,
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice, nor do they sit and wait.
But if you're never here, never here, to say,
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice, nor do they sit and wait.
