2024 Broadway
Suffs the Musical - Show Them Who You Are Lyrics

The song is written by Shaina Taub.

ALICE:
I know it's hard, I understand
Of course you're losing heart
We climb uphill for years, and still
It feels like we're right back at the start
But that's exactly how
Those crooked kings want us to feel
Too bad for them they're up against
A queen with a spine of steel
You are the bravest person I've ever met
I've never seen anything daunt you yet
So are you gonna let them win?

Or will you
Show them who you are?
Show them our brazen
Unwavering dynamo
Show them who you are
Show them you'll rip 'em
To shreds if thеy tell you, "No"
You think your nerve is about to givе out
But the girl I see glows brighter than any star

So go show them who you are
Show them
Show them who you are
Show them
Show them who you are

INEZ: (spoken)
No, no-no
I'm not going to let
You Alice Paul me this time
My mind's made up, I'm not going

ALICE:
Okay, that's fine, go take a rest

INEZ: (spoken)
Really?

ALICE: (spoken)
Yes

ALICE:
Yes, enjoy a pleasant break
Sit on your butt
And then do
What, exactly?
Read a novel?
Learn to bake?
But when you tell your kids
What mama did when things grew dim
Don't you wanna say you
Faced the villain down
And demolished him?
Or maybe you would rather give up your strike?
Let everyone think you just stood aside?
I guess if that's what you'd prefer

INEZ:
Let's show them who we are
Show them the stubbornest bitches
They'll ever see

ALICE & INEZ:
Show them who we are

INEZ:
Show them they oughta be frightened
Of you and me

ALICE:
It'll be

ALICE & INEZ:
They think our nerve is about to give out

INEZ:
But relinquishment's not in our repertoire

ALICE:
So go show them who we are

INEZ: (spoken)
Damn it! Why are you the only person
I can never turn down?

ALICE: (spoken)
You'll thank me when were toasting
Your triumph on election night

ALICE & INEZ:
They think our nerve is about to give out
But instead of backing down
We'll raise the bar
We'll raise the bar
We'll raise the bar
When we show them who we are
Show them
Show them who we are
Show them who we are
