We will sing Wisconsin’s song; It has a message all should hear
It is a song of proud resistance, there’s no trace of doubt or fear
Oligarchs are now in charge, and they want power at any cost
Democracy is at great risk, but it is not lost! [Key change down]
Will you raise your voices now?
Will you speak out for freedom’s sake?
We need to join our hands, there is so very much at stake
Be strong in the face of oppression
That’s what it will take! [Key change up]
Let us sing Wisconsin’s song, sharing the message all should hear
Po-e-try in freedom’s honor; freedom is what we hold dear
Make the fascists hear your voice: democracy is not for sale
Tell them you’re the guardrail now, and you will not fail. [Key change down]
We will work for our ideals
Despite the pressure to retreat
Knowing that the threat is real, we will not lie down in defeat
Our message will echo in chambers
And out on the street! [Key change up]
No surrender in our song, that is our message to the coup
Grannies are free and standing strong. It’s clear to see that you are too.
Together, we can win the fight, gum up the gears of this chainsaw
We can restore our precious rights and the rule of law.
[Slowly, watching director]:
Re-store our precious rights // and the rule of law!
