This video is the Toronto, Canada volunteer choir group, Choir! Choir! Choir! singing with her. 1,300 men and women sang their hearts out.
put on your face
know your place
shut up and smile
don’t spread your legs
I could do that
But no one knows me no one ever will
if I don’t say something, if I just lie still
Would I be that monster, scare them all away
If I let the-em hear what I have to say
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet
For anyone
Anymore
Cuz no one knows me no one ever will
if I don’t say something, take that dry blue pill
they may see that monster, they may run away
But I have to do this, do it anyway
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh I can’t keep quiet
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
There’ll be someone who understands
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
Must be someone who’ll understand
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
There’ll be someone who understands
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
I can’t keep quiet
WE ARE RESILIENT
WE ARE INDIVISIBLE
WE ARE GREATER THAN FEAR
WE WILL DEFEND DIGNITY
WE WILL PROTECT EACH OTHER

I wonder if wearing a Crow T Robot “YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME BABY!” t-shirt is out of bounds?…?…?
OH, and whatthahell is the “dry blue pill” referenced in MILCKC’S lyrics?
I give you dames permission to respond!
(so naughty)
@luftballooneyegouge A dry blue pill = birth control – I believe. Did you listen, or just read the lyrics to make fun of it?
@Gina
I sat through the whole feel-good empowerment ceremony, then I took a hot bath and scrubbed & scrubbed until the bitterness returned.
At first I thought the blue pill was a jab at viagra, but then I started reading the lyrics, & that didn’t make sense. I think she should have used ‘tiny’ instead of “dry blue”.
Have you militant femmes pushed birth control pills as a defense against rape & inferior gene reproduktion? I think that’d stimulate some neurons in their fight or flight, big amygdala, MAGA hat holders.
@luftballooneyegouge I think the “dry blue pill” makes sense when you see the actual original video to the song that she did before the Women’s March. Nice to hear your bitterness was gone for at least 4 minutes. :)
What exactly is a “militant femme”? Did you know there are 7 states where rape victims can be legally forced to share custody of their children with their rapist fathers if she gets pregnant? What kind of frinking Handmade’s Tale do we live in? Trumpet is just making it worse.
@Gina
Lemme guess,… 7 “red” states? Alabama’s got to be in that 7.
Militant femme is just my teasing psychopath humor, even though the dictionary definitions do fit.
