about

Every now and then, people do most of my work for me and all I have to do is make it rhyme and scan and put it to music. This is purely a Zeke Hoskin song, melody, lyrics, vocals, and all the instruments, one at a time.

lyrics

Elizabeth Warren was speaking at Jeff Session's
Attorney General hearing
She was reading a letter from Coretta King
Who didn't find Sessions endearing
Then Mitch McConnell shut her up
In a manner both rude and ham-fisted
She was warned,she was given an explanation
Nevertheless, she persisted

Harriet Tubman put her life on the line
Karen Silkwood ended up dead
Rosa Parks got thrown in jail
Malala Yousafzai got shot in the head
Dixie Chicks, Pussy Riot, they wouldn't keep quiet
And too many more to be listed
They were warned, they were given an explanation
Nevertheless, they persisted

You know that resisting the powers that be
Will expose you to trouble and danger
But who's gonna care when they come for you
If you won't stand up for a stranger?
So when they explain you should just give up
If you get disappeared, you'll be missed
You've been warned, you've been given an explanation
Nevertheless, persist!
