Jeannette Rankin 2020

Montana voted in the first woman in House
Pacifist, children's rights, suffragette with no fear
Germany in the sea sank our passenger ship
When the vote hit the floor she stood apart and said

I wish to stand for my country
But I cannot vote for warfare
All Montana stands against me
But I cannot vote for warfare
Bombs may illuminate the sea
But I cannot vote for warfare
Say you'll split my district in three
I vote no

Twenty years after war, she wins another seat
Victory, at last peace, it seems within her reach
Then Japan had a plan and Pearl Harbor was bombed
When the vote hit the floor she stood alone and said

I wish to stand for my country
But I cannot vote for warfare
All Montana stands against me
But I cannot vote for warfare
Bombs may illuminate the sea
But I cannot vote for warfare
Say you'll split my district in three
I vote no

I wish to stand for my country
But I cannot vote for warfare
All Montana stands against me
But I cannot vote for warfare
Bombs may illuminate the sea
But I cannot vote for warfare
Say you'll split my district in three
I vote no

No!
