A powerful tribute to the #MeToo movement urging women everywhere to speak up and help each other heal from the abuses of the gatekeepers in Hollywood and elsewhere in the world.
lyrics
Little men in tinsel town hold the keys to your fame and fortune
You’ll have a star on a sidewalk with your name emblazoned
Little men in tinsel town will pave your future with glitter and gold
It'll only cost a lifetime of shame and a little more than your soul
From every woman’s depth, comes the sound of healing
The Old Boy ground is quaking, revealing
Millions speaking truth, addressing wounds
From toxic masculinity forced upon the multitudes
Of you and me, too, mothers and daughters
You and me too, sisters and others
You and me too, you and me, too
Little men in tinsel town will offer you a script for reading
Saying, Your audition will require a private meeting
After all, a starring role calls for someone very bold
So please just don’t tell anyone and now take off your clothes
From every woman’s depth, comes the sound of healing
The Old Boy ground is quaking, revealing
Millions speaking truth, addressing wounds
From toxic masculinity forced upon the multitudes
Of you and me, too, mothers and daughters
You and me too, sisters and others
You and me too, you and me, too
How much of our own power and creativity
Has been poured down the drain of a twisted society
Allowing men to put women’s genius on display
Only when a certain price has been paid
Women's’ voices for so long, have been swallowed up
No longer will we tolerate the silence of abuse
We will call it out
The moment to boldly stand our ground has come
The reign of the little men in tinsel town is done
From every woman’s depth, comes the sound of healing
The Old Boy ground is quaking, revealing
Millions speaking truth, addressing wounds
From toxic masculinity forced upon the multitudes
Of you and me, too, mothers and daughters
You and me too, sisters and others
You and me too, you and me, too
Of you and me, too, mothers and daughters
You and me too, sisters and others
You and me too, you and me, too
