Barry Louis Polisar Marching Shoulder To Shoulder
We're marching shoulder to shoulder
To demand equal rights for kids
We're not just "cute", we're important
We're throwing off our chains and our bibs
Children of the world, its time to unite;
It's time to organize and stand up for what is right
We've got nothing to lose but our diapers and our pins
And if we all stick together, I know that we can win
We're marching shoulder to shoulder
Being under three feet tall is now in style
We're the front for kid's liberation;
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Down with "Children will speak only when they're spoken to"
We ain't just kids, we're human beings too you know
We wanna be heard and we know that we'll be seen
We won't trust anybody who is over thirteen
We're marching shoulder to shoulder
Were gonna speak up when we have something to say
Suppose they gave a birthday party....
And nobody came?
Were marching shoulder to shoulder;
Down with playpens and nursery schools;
Climb out of your high chairs, this fight is for you;
We want bread and roses...and chocolate cake, too
We're tired of being pampered, we're tired of being coddled
We're making molotov cocktails from our baby bottles
Were marching shoulder to shoulder
The times are gonna change one day
They can send us to their rooms and they can yell and they can spank us
They can make us go to bed, but one day they're gonna thank us
