Ally Bonino - Hold It Together Lyrics

[MRS. HERNDON, spoken]
Inmates, this is my prison mess hall
You will sit down, shut up and eat your food

[ALICE, spoken]
But matron, we are political prisoners and we refuse—

[MRS. HERNDON, spoken]
Guards!
If one of these girls says another damn word
Knock her teeth out
Now, eat your food

[ALICE, spoken]
Don't touch the food

[LUCY, spoken]
But when will we eat?

[ALICE, spoken]
Not 'til they release us

[DORIS, spoken]
What?

[MRS. HERNDON, spoken]
Quiet, eat your food
[ALICE, spoken]
Hunger strike

[LUCY, spoken]
Strike

[MRS. HERNDON]
Guards!

[ALICE, LUCY, DORIS & RUZA]
Strike!
Strike!
Strike!
Strike!

[ALICE, LUCY, DORIS & RUZA, MRS. HERNDON, spoken]
Strike! (Guards, shut them up)
Strike!
Strike!
Strike!

[MRS. HERNDON, spoken]
You won't last the night

[ALICE]
Hold it together
See it through
Don't let despair
Get the best of you
[ALICE, LUCY, DORIS & RUZA]
Push down the pain
Thicken your skin
Hold it together
Never give in

[CARRIE]
God bless our great republic
God bless our grand old flag
God bless the land of freedom we hold dear

Let mother serve
We're here to help the war
We'll conserve our food to feed our soldiers even more
'Cause the kitchen is the key
To U.S. victory
So mister, won't you please let mother serve?

[CARRIE, spoken]
We'll now take a recess for tea

[MOLLIE, spoken]
Are you all right?

[CARRIE, spoken]
I just need air
I'm fine, I'm fine
[MOLLIE]
Perhaps the problem's with your spine

[CARRIE]
Mollie, would you stop it?
If we fall in line about the war, you'll see
We'll get the President to finally hear our case
So please drop it

[MOLLIE]
But the Carrie I know would never condone this carnage

[CARRIE]
If you don't like it, go join Alice Paul in jail

[MOLLIE, spoken]
Is this about besting Alice Paul or winning the vote?

[MOLLIE]
Which do you care about more?
What a coward you've become

[MOLLIE, spoken]
Fight your own war

[CARRIE]
Hold it together
See it through

[CARRIE & ALICE]
Don't let your age
Get the best of you

[CARRIE, MARY, MOLLIE, ALICE, LUCY, DORIS & RUZA]
Push down the pain
Thicken your skin
Hold it together
Never give in

[ALICE, spoken]
Ruza, no
Stay strong for Inez

[RUZA, spoken]
Get her name out of your mouth
Was killing her not enough for you?

[LUCY, spoken]
How dare you say that to her?

[ALICE, spoken]
What matters is Inez kept fighting
Even though she was tired and sick
So we owe it to her to do the same

[DORIS, spoken]
Alice, it's been a week
I'm losing my mind

[ALICE, spoken]
Don't worry
Wilson will be shamed into a pardon as soon as word gets out
He's letting women die of starvation

[LUCY, spoken]
Oh, how comforting

[RUZA, spoken]
From the moment we met
You promised me we would burn him down

[ALICE, spoken]
We will, but—

[RUZA, spoken]
But it is five years later!
He's still in power
Our friend is dead
And now we are dying in prison

[ALICE, LUCY, DORIS & RUZA]
Why are you fighting me?
I am not the enemy

[MRS. HERNDON, spoken]
That's enough
Guards, take 'em away

[To DORIS]
Except you, stay put
Your husband is here

[DORIS, spoken]
Husband?

[DUDLEY]
Good God, what have they done to you, Miss Stevens?
I mean, Mrs. Malone

[DORIS, spoken]
Hello, darling

[DUDLEY]
I am here on behalf of the Chief of Police
The President has ordered my wife's immediate release

[MRS. HERNDON, spoken]
She's all yours, sir

[MRS. HERNDON]
See if you can beat some sense into her

[DORIS]
Congratulations on your new job

[DUDLEY, spoken]
What?

[DORIS, spoken]
You're a Suff now
Let's get moving

[DUDLEY]
Yes, sir—ma'am
Yes, I am

[CARRIE, MARY, MOLLIE, ALICE, LUCY, DORIS & RUZA]
Hold it together
See it through
Don't let the bastards intimidate you
Push down the pain
Thicken your skin

[ALICE]
Hold it together

[CARRIE]
Hold it together

[CARRIE, MARY, MOLLIE, ALICE, LUCY, DORIS & RUZA]
Hold it together

[IDA]
Never give in
