WE’RE THE GUARDRAILS NOW

 

We’re the We’re the Guardrails Now

Tune:  We Shall Not Be Moved

Lyrics:  Sheila Plotkin, Raging Grannies of Madison & Dane County

 

 

CHORUS:

Pay attention, we’re the guardrails now.

Did we mention, we’re the guardrails now?

We have the pow’r to rescue our democracy. We are the guardrails now.

 

Find a community, in numbers we are strong

Act in your neighborhood, bring your friends along

We have the pow’r to rescue our democracy. We are the guardrails now.

 

Write to your legislators, let them know you care

They need to hear your voice, to know that you’re aware

We have the pow’r to rescue our democracy. We are the guardrails now.

 

Know someone who’s in need? Someone who’s afraid?

Reach out a helping hand. Connections can be made.

We have the pow’r to rescue our democracy. We are the guardrails now.

 

CHORUS

 

Learn how to organize, ideas are everywhere.

Small acts by decent folks, they will get us there.

We have the pow’r to rescue our democracy. We are the guardrails now.

 

Let’s look for common ground, put politics aside.

Respect for each other’s rights, that’s our only guide.

We have the pow’r to rescue our democracy, We are the guardrails now.

 

CHORUS
