Nina Gordon – Suffragette lyrics

("I'll make history," the suffragette said
"I'm clever, to do this forever")

You don't know me yet
But I'm a suffragette
I suffer for your sins and wash them all away

Some kind of Jesus Christ
Check out my sacrifice
A pretty poison flower bring you the sweetest juice

And you'll remember me
Making history
Just you wait, just you wait and see

("I'll make history," the suffragette said
"I'm clever, to do this forever")

So don't try to stone me
You don't own me, and baby you don't know me yet
Don't try to break me
You can't take me
Cause baby I'm a suffragette

My mama said to me,
"Be what you want to be."
"Just take your time, enjoy the ride along the way"

And you'll remember me
Making history
Just you wait, just you wait and see

So don't try to stone me
You don't own me, and baby you don't know me yet
Don't try to break me
You can't take me
Cause baby I'm a suffragette
You cannot fight me
You don't have to like me
You don't even know me yet
Don't try to break me
You can't take me
Cause baby I'm a suffragette

It's like you fell asleep in a cab and woke up in another land
And everything's changed
But it's okay-- it's better this way

So come along girls, without hesitation
Change the channel baby, try another station
I'll fill you up with a sense of elation
I'll build you up with a sex education

So don't try to stone me
You don't own me, and baby you don't know me yet
Don't try to break me
You can't take me
Cause baby I'm a suffragette
You cannot fight me
You don't have to like me
You don't even know me yet
Don't try to break me
You can't take me
Cause baby I'm a suffragette
