A visionary pause in the cycle 
When she refused to buy or sell 
When the daughters of perfect wives 
Said there must be more sacrifice 
Needed more than symbolic change 
More than silent wasting away 
In factories and sterile marriages 
He was God, she was powerless 
With a brick for every year of life 
She set out for the house of lies 
The old boys' club under siege 
His lordship cowered under his seat 
Called for brandy and reinforcements 
Blasted away at every movement 
Close to breaking down the door 
Past thick blue line and stupid laws 
Black Friday left her bruised and stubborn 
One brick from winning the struggle 
Rapunzel hacked at the ivory tower 
Asquith quickly rose to the hour 
Appealed to patriotism, oily smiles 
Gave nothing, called it compromise 
Gauging the situation perfectly 
Said ladies, ladies, listen to me 
Nineteen fourteen, we're on the brink of war 
Pick up a flag, drop your cause 
Your targets are counter-revolutionary 
Take my hand in democracy 
Here's a piece of paper 
You're officially free 
Here's a list of instructions 
For you to obey 
And here's sharp knife 
To cut your own throat 
Small sacrifice in return for a vote 
Whispered word in Pankhurst's ear 
Visions of the first woman peer 
Led women down the garden path 
And into the arms of the enemy 
Jail and force-feeding, waster martyrdom 
Sold her songs for the national anthem 
Slotted the smile back neatly into place 
Served refreshments 
At the end of the race 
All demands reduced to a joke 
X marks the plague, abandon hope 
Butlers still pouring brandy for the rich 
Excuse me pass me the privilege 
A woman's voice, the state's idea 
Same vested interests, same dirty deals 
Currie and Williams immersed in the times 
Examples to keep the rest in line 
Currie and Williams two of a kind 
Examples to keep the rest in line 
Absolute power 
Absolute power 
Ladies, ladies, listen to me
