Here’s our new song that Pat wrote today (7/31/12) for CodePink and V Day’s latest action: “Take Your Vagina to the RNC! August 26-30” Info on the demos here: http://codepink.org/article.php?id=6178
Lyrics to the song below. Feel free to sing it — with all your body parts!
If you’re tired of legislators pushing you to 2nd class Gather up your outrage and get up off your ass End the War on Women, take this opportunity Take your vagina to the RNC!
Chorus: Take your vagina to the RNC! Let’s start behaving like a true majority Show these guys that power Isn’t in the way you pee Take your vagina to the RNC!
If you’ve had enough of gender inequality Hope a bus to Florida or come along with me Women are the pillars of our shared economy Take your vagina to the RNC!
If you want to stop the violent threats that hover near Save our reproductive rights and freedom to be queer Use the power that men have feared throughout all history Take your vagina to the RNC!
Almost immediately, we got cheers from folks on our FaceBook page and hilarious comments like Geoffrey’s “I would if I could!” (to which Sandy replied, “Check out this picture on the Codepink website. You can bring an honorary one!) and our former housemate, Alice’s “I never leave home without mine.” Our assistant Maria reposted the song and got this response from a Canadian cousin: “haha I don’t know what RNC is but I totally wanna take my vagina there just because of this song lol awesome”
Listen and then share it in your communities. We want folks–with all types of body parts–to have a laugh and then take action everywhere for women’s rights and freedom.
