LET US VOTE (COMPLETE LYRICS):

???? 11 hour lines down in Georgia to vote,
Tired, thirsty they don't care
Intimidating poll workers
Jim Crow lurking everywhere

Partisan legislators silencing our voice,
Trying to take our rights, trying to take our choice

This is not right and Yes I care
Let’s keep elections always free and fair!
Our country's in authoritarian slide
Let's turn the tide--

Let us Vote, Let us Vote
Can't hold us back anymore
Let us Vote, Let us vote
Take us to the Senate Floor
Here we stand for Democracy
Pass the Freedom to Vote Act
This could really be your legacy
{motivating chords}

Common sense experience says everyone’s vote counts
Make it easier to absentee, let's shout for great turnout! (woot woot woot/ fist pumps)
It's time to see what we can do
Protecting voting for your grandma too!
No matter who she's voting for
We all score---

When she votes, Let us vote
That's a win for democracy
Let us vote, Let us vote
It's a win for you and me
Here we stand for Democracy
Pass the Freedom to Vote Act
{instrumental music building}

No more gerrymandered parcels of our ground
The people choose their Reps and not the other way around!
With Jim Crow factions snatching freedom with their jaws
The filibuster's broken, it's your job to pass some laws!

Let us Vote, Let us Vote
Lady Liberty's on board
Let us Vote, Let us vote
Take us to the Senate Floor
Here we stand for Democracy
Pass the Freedom to Vote Act
This can really be your legacy
