about
The title and the first line came from a Black Lives Matter march I was in in Harlem 2019. The march was called Enough is Enough. I had a GoPro on my head and was playing my ukulele. Just before we started walking I asked these two women if they wanted to write a song. I sang "Enough is Enough" and one of them sang "We're not taking it anymore" Then like most marches I never saw them again. If you know the women in the picture, hook us up. The rest of the song came in its own time. The 4th verse came on the heals of Roe v Wade leaving. I made a video before that with all these incredible musicians. You can see that video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9rkQi8BeH4&list=PLYkG4G9jffXt3s1NuoZ87eTnXp-rYpRQP
lyrics
Enough is enough
We ain’t takin it anymore
We’re all joined together
To end the endless war
Against all othered people
By the Spell of the Us and Them
We won’t adjust to injustice no more
Enough is enough
But still you want more
You're trying divide us
But we're stronger than before
You think that Black lives matter less
Than a Target store
We won't adjust to injustice no more
Enough is enough
but your prayers they are not
let's look in your portfolio
See what we have got
It will only scratch the surface of
Of the real looting that endures
We won't adjust to injustice no more
Enough is enough
You're not takin it anymore
We won't let you take control of our bodies or our souls
My body's not a battleground for your political war
We won't adjust to injustice no more
Enough is enough
We're not takin it anymore
The power of the people
Is stronger than your laws
Designed to keep you rich
And other people poor
We won't adjust to injustice no more
you can keep on adding more locks to your door
but we won't adjust to injustice no more
