When we see a problem, we show up!
When we see injustice, we show up!
When we see someone in pa-ain,
We show up with friends in trai-ain!
When we see injustice, we show up!
When we see a neighbor needing help,
it’s no time to sit by on the shelf!
Somethin’ needs to be corrected
and we’re all in-ter-con-nec-ted
So when we see injustice, we show up!
It is time for Grannies to take to the streets!
Raging Grannies will not sit by in our seats!
We’ll be out where we belo-ong,
with our hats and protest so-ongs.
When we see injustice, we show up!
