Karaoké Once and for All Newsies (musical)

There's change coming once and for all

You makes the front page and man, you is major news

Tomorrow they'll see what we are

Tomorrow they'll see what we are

And sure as a star

And sure as a star

We ain't come this far to lose we ain't come this far to lose

Here they come

This is the story we needed to write as we kept out of sight, but no more

In a few hours by dawns early light we'll be ready to fight us a war

This time we're in it to stay

Talk about seizing the day

Write it in ink or in blood

It's the same either way

They're gonna damn well pay

See old man Pulitzer snug in his bed

He don't care if we're dead or alive

Three satin pillows are under his head while we's begging for bread to survive

Joe, you can stop counting sheep

We're gonna sing ya to sleep

You've got your thugs with their sticks and their slugs

Yeah, but we got a promise to keep

Once and for all if they don't find their manners

We'll bleed 'em

Bleed 'em

Once and for all we won't carry no banners that don't spell freedom

Finally we's raising the stakes

This time whatever it takes

This time the union awakes once and for all

Come on, boys

This is for kids shining shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet everyday

This is for guys sweating blood in the shops while their bosses and cops look away

I'm seeing kids standing tall glaring and raring to brawl

Armies of guys who are sick of the lies getting ready to rise to the call

Once and for all there'll be blood on the wall if they doubt us

They think they're running this town but this town will shut down without us

Ten thousand kids in the square

Ten thousand fists in the air

Joe, you is gonna play fair once and for all

Once and for all

There's change coming once and for all

You're getting too old too weak to keep holding on

A new world is gunning for you and Joe, we is too 'till once and for all you're gone

Once and for all

Once and for all

Once and for all
