lyrics

She spent hours, she spent days in the lab, decades against the grain
Discouraged, disbelieved and discredited all along the way
She’s a powerhouse of science, A heroine fighting in the dark
30 years of collaboration and discovery – her name omitted

Secret letters from him confirm her work works
A secret name lies under his heavy conscience and his Nobel Prize
A Nobel Mistake in disguise
That diamond ring means no promises

When Nazis made her flee in 1938 she left everything behind
Barely escaping the German border with a ring & 10 Marks in her pocket
Using her work and equipment in her absence he made the discovery
of nuclear fission by splitting Uranium
But Lise Meitner knew it first - before him

Thought for herself before accepting authority
She’s a powerhouse of science / a force of feminism
After decades of working against the grain
She was [WOAH] subject to misogyny yet she kept a moral head
Declined the Manhattan Project screaming,
“I will have nothing to do with a bomb!
“I will have nothing to do with a bomb!
