A song about challenging the status quo (e.g. sexism, racism, religious influence in politics, low minimum wage, etc.) and bringing forth new ideas, rather than accepting "that's how we've always done things" as a good enough reason to carry on that way.

Lyrics
Verse 1: Will we all live to see a female president
Smash that final see-through ceiling overhead?
The straight and narrow is now crumpled and bent
We're boldly going where no woman has been
Pre-Chorus: We don't like the way you do it when you're runnin' the show
Forget your status quo, here comes status quon't
Chorus:
Can't stop, Quon't stop
Can't stop, Quon't stop
(Can't stop) You need our help with that
(Quon't stop) We're more than half the pack
(Can't stop) Don't plan on lookin' back
(Quon't stop) Till we're on top
(Can't stop) You need our help with that
(Quon't stop) Won't get away with that
Forget your status quo, here comes status quon't
Verse 2: There's grit and grace behind each woman's pretty face
Our rightful place is where decisions are made
No final destination, we're all marchin' for change
If you're not coming with us, you're standing in the way
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
(Give us equal pay, Raise that minimum wage
Can't have justice for all, Without shared control) x2

Status quoooooon't
