Tick-Tock, Ladies
Verse 1
You're swiping left, you're sipping your iced latte
Assuming that your body's yours today and yours to stay
You think the history books are just a thing of the past
But honey, pay attention, 'cause the shadows gather fast
They smile on the TV in their tailored little suits
While they're quietly pulling up your garden by the roots!
Pre-Chorus
There's a room full of men with a gavel and a pen
Deciding what to do with the women once again!
So put down the phone, and lace up your shoes,
'Cause if you sit this out, you're exactly who will lose.
Chorus
Oh, tick-tock, ladies, better lock in the vote!
Before they go and try to rewrite everything we wrote.
It's a cheeky little warning with a heavy little threat,
If you don't stand up now, it's a choice you will regret!
Yeah, march to the ballot while the ballot's still there,
'Cause the boys in the club really don't fucking care!
Verse 2
They're talking 'bout the 50s like a vintage magazine
But they don't mean the fashion, they mean keeping you unseen
First they take the clinic, then they're coming for the pill
If you think they're gonna stop, well, I promise you they will—
Wait, no they won't! They're on a rolling spree,
Next thing you know, it's 1893!
Pre-Chorus
There's a room full of men with a gavel and a pen
Deciding what to do with the women once again!
So put down the phone, and lace up your shoes,
'Cause if you sit this out, you're exactly who will lose.
Chorus
Oh, tick-tock, ladies, better lock in the vote!
Before they go and try to rewrite everything we wrote.
It's a cheeky little warning with a heavy little threat,
If you don't stand up now, it's a choice you will regret!
Yeah, march to the ballot while the ballot's still there,
'Cause the boys in the club really don't fucking care!
Bridge
This ain't a drill, little sister, this is it...
Time to stand your ground, time to throw a little fit!
Your grandma fought the battle, now the battle's on your lawn
Don't wake up tomorrow finding all your choices gone.
Chorus
Oh, tick-tock, ladies, better lock in the vote!
Before they go and try to rewrite everything we wrote.
It's a cheeky little warning with a heavy little threat,
If you don't stand up now, it's a choice you will regret!
Yeah, march to the ballot while the ballot's still there,
'Cause the boys in the club really don't fucking care!
Outro
While you still can...
Go and check the little box!
Beat the old boys and their ticking little clocks!
Seriously, check your voter registration.
