Suffs the Musical - The Campaign Lyrics

The song is written by Shaina Taub.

INEZ:
Vote him out
For your daughter
For her future
Get out and vote
Get out and vote
Get out and vote
Get out and vote

Vote him out
For your sister
Stand up with her
Get out and vote
Get out and vote
Get out and vote
Get out and vote

Vote him out
We the people
Have the power
Get out and vote
Get out and vote
Get out and vote
Get out and vote

Don't lose hope
We can win this
Are you in this?
Get out and vote
Get out and vote
Get out and vote

DORIS: (spoken)
November 7th, election night
Colored lights have been installed
On the Capitol dome
To signal the winner

RUZA: (spoken)
What color do we want again?

ALICE: (spoken)
If Wilson wins, red

DORIS: (spoken)
If we win, blue

RUZA:
Come on, blue

ALICE:
Come on, blue

ALICE, RUZA & DORIS:
Come on, blue

RUZA:
We might as well lie down and die

ALICE:
But the polls haven't closed in California
Don't give up so fast
It's not over 'til the last vote is cast

LUCY: (spoken)
Alice

ALICE:
Lucy, did you hear?

LUCY:
Did you hear?

ALICE:
We'll hold a rally first thing
(spoken)
Inez will speak -
Where's Inez?

INEZ:
Vote him out for your—
I don't like the world as it is, do you?
There are too more weary minds
And hearts in it

LUCY:
We needed to tell you in person

ALICE: (spoken)
Tell me what?

INEZ:
Too many children with sad eyes
Too many souls
That die before the body dies

LUCY:
Alice, the doctor said she was anemic
And she knew she'd been ill for several years

ALICE: (spoken)
Where is she?

INEZ:
Don't you think women want
To change these things
Just as much as men do?
Don't you think we've waited long enough?
How long must women wait for liberty?
Say it with me:
How long?
How long?
How long?
How—

LUCY:
They tried to revive her
But she was too weak from over-exertion
And her body just couldn't take the stress
So, she—

RUZA:
O Boże

ALICE: (spoken)
No, it can't be
(singing)
It can't be any other photograph
Except the one from the march
The one of her in her crown and cape
Where her eyes are like fire
I'll go wire it to every paper
Make sure she's seen
I need to plan a memorial
Fit for a queen
I'll go make a call
To see if I can book Statuary Hall
I'll go write up a release
Make sure they know
She's only thirty years old
Make sure they know that she's our hero
Make sure they don't spell her name wrong
It's M-I-L, not M-U-L
Milholland, Inez Milholland, Inez—
