Muncie Girls – Committee lyrics

Don't believe that our minds have changed
And our basic demands haven't stayed the same
We still have a debt that we need to repay
To the suffragettes who've paved our way

I know you like to think that times have changed
But we're not represented in parliament or pay
Our voices are lost in a masquerade
And now we have to fight to have our say

But if you're never here, never here to say
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice
Nor do they sit and wait
But if you're never here, never here to say
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice
Nor do they sit and wait

There are a million reasons why we need to talk;
We can organise and sympathise and gather our thoughts
Some alarms don't sound in 4/4 time
Some problems aren't within our peripheral lines

I would like to know if you're still there and if so
Can we talk about those plans that we had for tomorrow?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Until we try we won't know

But if you're never here, never here to say
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice
Nor do they sit and wait
But if you're never here, never here to say
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice
Nor do they sit and wait

But if you're never here, never here to say
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice
Nor do they sit and wait
But if you're never here, never here to say
Well, a committee doesn't listen to an absent voice
Nor do they sit and wait
