about

All about representation in popular culture - we want to see our heroines on t-shirts and toy shelves!

lyrics

It took a while, but now it’s here
“Heroic leading lady”’s a legitimate career
From River Song to River Tam
We marched right into Hollywood and shouted “Here I am!”

But when we want to show our pride
We are constantly frustrated, no matter how we try
Where are the shirts? Where are the toys?
We’re looking for our heroines but all we get are boys

PRECHORUS
I see me in the movies, I see me on tv
But when I try to shop I see invisibility

CHORUS:
So listen, listen, new demographic's speaking
We're the revolution in geeking
Can't you hear us say - We want Rey
So listen, listen, new demographic's pleading
No going back, we're not retreating
We're all here to stay and We want Rey

Our money’s good.. So what’s the deal?
It’s like nobody’s listening to how consumers feel
So don’t be dumb or nonchalant
Just open up your product lines and give us what we want!

PRECHORUS
CHORUS

Furiosa and Gamora, Agent Dunham and Uhura
Kara Zor-El, Donna Noble, Wonder Woman (or Diana)
Buffy Summers, Ellen Ripley, Dana Scully, Xena, Gabby
Captain Janeway, Captain Marvel, Princess Leia (no bikini)
Kara Thrace and Sarah Connor, Sara Lance and Kendra Saunders
Arya Stark, Peggy Carter, don’t you make this any harder!

CHORUS x 2

Can’t you hear us say (listen listen) (x4)
