Liner Notes

#folk #mandolin #political #flute

I wrote this for the #songsidekicksongcircle prompt of saying "no" to someone.
Halfway through 50/90, but oh so near the end of our waiting!

Lyrics

No More Waiting
Jemma Kline

A quarter of a thousand years ago,
Some rich entitled men whom we all know
Tried to make this land a space
Where a woman knows her place,
And they’re trying one more time to run the show.

No more waiting,
No more waiting,
No more waiting,
No more waiting.
Don’t you shush me with a sigh,
I’ll no longer step aside.
No more waiting,
No more waiting,
Not this time.

They still hope we’ll stay at home and mend their socks,
Keep on playing second fiddle to the boss.
But we’re taking back our rights,
Can’t afford to lose this fight,
Or they’ll put us all right back into that box.

No more waiting,
No more waiting,
No more waiting,
No more waiting.
Don’t you shush me with a sigh,
I’ll no longer step aside.
No more waiting,
No more waiting,
Not this time.

(flute bridge)

No more waiting,
No more waiting,
No more waiting,
No more waiting.
Don’t you shush me with a sigh,
I’ll no longer step aside.
No more waiting,
No more waiting,
Not this time.

We’ve been voting for a hundred years and change,
But the bastards never let us stake our claim.
So I’m telling you right now,
Pull the lever, you know how.
Or theirs no one but yourself that you can blame.

No more waiting,
No more waiting,
No more waiting,
No more waiting.
Don’t you shush me with a sigh,
I’ll no longer step aside.
No more waiting,
No more waiting,
Not this time.
