Grab your hat little Gran-ny
Grab your apron little Gran-ny
Sing your songs
and expose those wrongs
We’re old but bolder Raging Gran…nies

Rest in power little sis-ter
Rest in power little bro-ther.
strangled and smacked down
gassed and gunned down
Singing your song like a mo…ther

Get ready for disru-ption
We will sing of their corru-ption
we will fight
for our human rights
This movement’s ready for eru…ption

Don’t you sleep little la-dies
Lift your voices unafrai-duh
There’s news to bring
And a song to sing
While the whole damn world goes to Ha…des

Rage on little Gran-ny
Teach the little children Gran-ny
We’re Powerless no more
That’s what we’re marching for
Raising the power, Raging Gran…nies
