LYRICS:
I need a political job in a blue collar town
So I can pay my rent
When the music is on, I get my best blood drawn
But I haven’t made a dollar yet

Haven't I paid my dues?
Haven't I paid my dues?
Haven't I paid my dues yet?

Calling all my generals
My daughters
My revolutionists
We got strength in numbers
And they're goin' to pay for it

We burn the money in our homes
Oh our books and bones are breaking down so fast
But they keep putting all our cash
Into the next bloodbath
Honey, tell you I am sick of it

Haven't I paid my dues?
Haven't I paid my dues?
Haven't I paid my dues yet?

Hey all my sisters (yeah)
What you want (love)
And all my brothers (yeah)
What you got (love)

You wanna fix it (yeah)
Or fuck it up
Come on fix it
'Cause it's been fucked

Calling all my generals
My daughters
My revolutionists
We got strength in numbers
And they're goin' to pay for it

Get your black boots on
Get your black boots on
Get your black, black, black boots on

Beat your marching drum
Beat your marching drum
Beat your marching drum

We’re gonna make 'em run
We’re gonna make 'em run
We’re gonna get 'em on the run

So get your warpaint on
So get your warpaint on
Let 'em know we're out for blood

This is so awesome.

I've been reading lately "I Claudius" and thinking nothing has changed in 2000 years, "so what has to change now?" (I was walking through Black Cree Pioneer Village with a friend).

"Maybe we should take the vote away from men, not forever, just for a while to see if anything changes."

"Yeah like a thousand years, maybe ten thousand, till they show us they can make good decisions, won't go all emotional and stuff..."

Spectacular! I love the theme, and it flows so well. Even though I'm not familiar with all of the sources it all fits together.

AHHHH THIS IS SO AMAZING OMG. :D :D :D

It's beautifully put together and I love the range of sources. It's so fun seeing brand new canon like Black Panther next to Buffy and Sarah Connor. And what a good song choice! Some things that I loved:

The shot on 'calling on my generals' switching from Princess Bride Robin Wright to Wonder Woman Robin Wright, fuck yes. It's a great encapsulation of the theme of the whole vid. Also the switching back and forth between young and old Leia was amazing. 'Strength in numbers' for Graduation Day, and 'warpaint on' for Furiosa were brilliant. Will I ever tire of the lightsaber shooting past Kyle Ron to Rey? Signs point to no. And what a great shot to end on.

Thank you so much! I am thrilled to see a new vid of you and very touched you made it for us.

I love this so hard. That transition from Buttercup to Antiope was just my heart. Thank you.

[msilverstar]

I missed half the references and still really liked it!

One question: was it supposed to be so wide? I kept trying to change the aspect ratio

Hallelujah! I'm so glad to see this :)
