Le Tigre Return With Pro-Hillary Clinton Song “I’m With Her”
By Evan Minsker and Amy Phillips.
Le Tigrehave returned, as promised. Today, the trio of Kathleen Hanna, Johanna Fateman, and JD Samson have shared their first new piece of music in a decade. As its title implies, the new song “I’m With Her” is a pro-Hillary Clinton anthem, and its video was made by director Laura Parnes and producer Tanya Selvaratnam for Filmmakers forHillary, “a coalition of creatives committed to electing Hillary Clinton as President of the United States,” whose “mission is to organize creativity and inspiration into persuasion and mobilization.” The video features footage of Le Tigre, Hillary Clinton and her supporters, and kitty cats. Watch the video and check out the full song lyrics below.
The Le Tigre reunion was first revealed by Kathleen Hanna earlier this month during a conversation with Perfect Pussy's Meredith Graves for a Talkhouse podcast.
“I’m With Her” lyrics:
One, two, one, two, one, two, three
Who do we want? We want HRC!
[Verse 1]
She doesn’t bake cookies, doesn’t play much golf
And the whole world is watching her persistent cough
Pass the wicked witch a glass of water
Careful not to spill it, you might melt The Donald
She’s already done the math
And she’s ready with a plan
And she’s always got to work
Twice as hard as every man
Bye bye, bye bye . . . Trump has got to go!
[Chorus]
I’M WITH HER
TO THE TOP
SHE’S WITH US
WE WON’T STOP . . .
I want a problem solver, a true rock climber
Pantsuit-wearing herstorical first-timer
I want a listener, a negotiator
A legal scholar, supreme court nominator
We can’t, we can’t, we can’t we can’t, we can’t wait . . .
[Verse 2]
Trump thinks Putin is a “very strong leader”
Just like him, a fascist bottom feeder
Building a wall is his greatest vision
Bigotry colors his every decision
She’s already done the math
And she’s ready with a plan
And she’s always got to work
Twice as hard as every man
Bye bye, bye bye . . . Trump has got to go!
[Chorus 2]
I’M WITH HER. . .
[Background vocals]
Abortion is healthcare, it’s a human right
Policy homework ’til the morning light
NRA stands for murder and hate
Gun laws now! We can’t wait!
One, two, one, two, one, two, three
I don’t want a racist in the President’s seat
One, two, one, two, one, two, three
I don’t want a sexist, it’s 2016!
One, two, one, two, one, two, three
Who do we want? We want HRC!
[Chorus 3]
