The Taxation Tyranny

To tax one who's not represented
Is tyranny-tell if you can
Why women should not have the ballot?
She's taxed just the same as the man.
King George, you remember, denied us
the ballot, but sent us the tea.
And we. without asking a question, 
Just tumbled it into the sea.
Then to justice let's ever be true,
To each citizen render his due.
Equal rights and protection forever
To all 'neath the Red, White and Blue!
That one man shall not rule another,
Unless by the other's consent,
Is the principle deep underlying
The framework of this government.
So, as woman is punished for breaking
the laws which she cannot gainsay,
Let us give her a voice in the making,
Or ask her no more to obey.
