Be notorious I dissent
We dissent
We are Ruthless
Be notorious

She refused to bite her tongue She’d never bide her time
“That’s the way things are”
For her was never enough
Notorious, she dissented
And wouldn’t be held down
to walk the ground laid out
She changed it, laid new ground

I dissent We dissent
We are Ruthless
Be notorious

Marching on, she laid new ground Forging new paths for us all
She brought us along
Defending women’s rights
She made America admit
Civil liberties are for all
Persistent and notorious,
Eloquently, she dissented

Be notorious I dissent
We dissent
We are Ruthless
Be notorious

She rose to the challenge Notorious, she fought on
For you and for me
for all equality
She went the distance
and far, far beyond
on the side of equal justice
Persistent, she dissented
