Aoife O'Donovan - War Measure Lyrics
Official




[ Featuring The Westerlies, The Knights ]

Carrie, I got your missive and I'm with you, girl
I welcome the opportunity to say that I agree
The time is nigh for your admission to the suffrage

'Cause the services of women during this crisis
Must be repaid, lead ya to paradise
It's over there

Carrie, as for this country, I only hope
That the Senate will give an answer
Unmistakably making you able to use your voice
And cast a ballot

If they pass this amendment to our Constitution
We are gonna be talking 'bout revolution
It's over there, it's over there

'Cause we need you in our vision of affairs
Your skills are beyond all compare
You've got sympathy and insight
Your shoulders bear the weight of the world

The women of our country fair have beating hearts
And dirt in their hair
We've gotta show them that we trust them
As much as we need 'em now
Do it now, do it now

Carrie, I see you standing on the precipice
I'm begging of you, keep fighting for true justice
And you'll find that the laws of the land
Will soon, they'll soon be in your favor

I am telling you, this is a war measure
We can't win the Great War without this treasure

Womenkind, womenfolk
We're not wheels without spokes
Let 'em vote, let 'em vote, let 'em vote
