Finish the Fight Lyrics > Suffs

Let Mother vote, just hold your fury in
Maybe Carrie's right, and that's the only way we win
She sounds just like my father
Please Alice, have some sense
Don't you know that no one likes a girl who's too intense
Don't get so defensive Alice, don't be so aggressive
Settle down, you're too obsessive
I've heard it many times before
But I don't wanna hear it anymore

I don't wanna have to compromise
I don't wanna have to beg for crumbs from a country that doesn't care what I say
I don't wanna follow in no footsteps
I don't wanna be a meek little one in games they play

I wanna march in the street
I wanna hold up a sight
There's millions of women with passion like mine
I wanna shout it out loud In the wide open light
Till our generation has made things right

Yes, I wanna know how it feels
When we finally finish the fight

Should I try to take the lead alone?
What is probably impossible?
Well my ideas just dwindle and die
Try to remember what your mother taught you
When you're deep you're bending it, you can't quit
Till it runs dry

You've gotta kick down the doors of the mightiest man
Till they never dare to deny us again
You've gotta disrupt their deeds
Make a fire ignite
No heart in a wreck It won't play but light
Just picture the look in their eyes
But we finally finished the fight

Don't say goodbye to the world
My mother and grandmothers know
Will I truly be able to change it?
Well if not me then who?
So I'll make my own team
And I'll raise up my head
Till we're rewriting the law of the land
And we'll all swirl our flood
Purple, gold, and white
The centuries of silence will ebb at night
I'll be there on the day,
When we finally finish the fight,
I'll be there on the day, when we finally finish the fight.
