Lyrics:

CARRIE
THIS GIRL
THIS ENTITLED LITTLE...
CALM DOWN, CARRIE
BUT THIS GIRL, THIS ALICE PAUL
WHAT GALL TO CALL ME AN OLD FOGEY
SINCE WHEN AM I AN OLD FOGEY?
SHE THINKS I’M OBSOLETE?
SHE OUGHTA KISS MY FEET
I LIT THE WAY FOR HER - BUT NO
SHE THINKS SHE KNOWS BETTER
DON’T LET HER GET TO YOUR HEAD
FOCUS ON YOUR SPEECH INSTEAD

WHAT WAS I THINKING, ENABLING HER?
I SHOULD’VE HEEDED THE DOUBTS I HAD FROM THE START
SHE’S UNDENIABLY SMART, BUT SO MISGUIDED
I’VE LABORED FOR DECADES TO CRAFT A CONSERVATIVE IMAGE FOR SUFFRAGE BUT SHE MAKES US LOOK LIKE A HORDE OF HYSTERICAL HARPIES WITH SMOKE BLOWING OUT OF OUR EARS
WHAT IF SHE RUINS WHAT I HAVE BEEN MOUNTING FOR YEARS? I DID NOT COUNT ON THIS GIRL, THIS GIRL
I CAN’T BELIEVE I AM NOW VIEWED AS THE OLD GUARD
AND SHE AS THE BEACON OF CHANGE
ME - THE OLD FOGEY?
HOW STRANGE
THIS GIRL?

NOT THIS GIRL RAISED BY A PENNILESS DRUNK
WHO REFUSED TO SEND HER TO SCHOOL
NOT THIS GIRL WHO PAID HER OWN WAY THROUGH COLLEGE PROVING SHE’S NOBODY’S FOOL
WHO WORKED AS THE FIRST WOMAN SUPERINTENDENT
HARASSED BY HER BOSS, BUT MANAGED TO THRIVE
WHO MARRIED A MAN FOR A GOOD REPUTATION
THEN FOUND HERSELF WIDOWED AT AGE TWENTY-FIVE

NOT THIS GIRL WHO FLOUTED ALL FEMININE CUSTOM
BY JOINING THE FIGHT FOR THE VOTE
NOT THIS GIRL WHO FOLLOWED THE LEAD OF THE MOVEMENT HIDING HER ANGER BENEATH HER PETTICOAT
WHO ROSE THROUGH THE RANKS BY PAYING HER DUES AND EARNED HER PLACE AT THE TOP
WHO TRANSFORMED AND EXPANDED THE ORGANIZATION AND SHE’S YET TO STOP

NOT THIS GIRL YOU SEE BEFORE YOU NOW
WHO STANDS BY EACH MOVE THAT SHE’S MADE
THIS OLD FOGEY’S TIME HAS COME
WOMAN’S TIME HAS COME
I’VE FOUGHT MY WHOLE GODDAMN LIFE FOR RESPECT FOR MY SEX AND I WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THIS ARROGANT CHILD TO IMPERIL OUR CHANCE TO BE FREE
NOT ME
NOT THIS GIRL
