Here’s our generic all-purpose protest song,
And we can sing it whenever things go wrong.
It’s how we protest for peace and justice
We sing it loud and sing it strong.

We start by naming the current crises.
A President that tweets insanities.
When e’er Trump acts to… screw people over
We trot out this handy-dandy song.

Voter suppression,   picking racist fights
Trump sends Jeff Sessions to end our civil rights
When e’er Trump acts to… screw people over
We sing this good all-purpose song.

Inflaming prejudice, acting above the law,
and now Trump wants to …appoint Brett Kavanaugh
When e’er Trump acts to… screw people over
We trot out this handy-dandy song.

We’re Raging Grannies, so we’ll keep singing
And we’ll keep raging, our voices ringing.
As we get older we’re growing bolder,
We sing our generic protest song.
