Everyone Should Treated the Same

This song was written by young women who participate in the Clondalkin Traveller Development Group in June 2026.

Verse One
Men and women should be treated the same
different in many ways but equal in name,
Men and women stand side by side
with equal dreams and equal rights
When we lift each other up as one
A fairer brighter world will soon come

Chorus One
Everyone should treated the same,
No matter their story, their face or their name!
Everyone should be treated the same,
Same fairness is the name of the game!
Everyone should be treated the same,
No matter their fortune or their fame!

Verse Two – Middle
Men and women can do any equal jobs
from building roads to flying planes
equal skills and equal chances
mean we all can share the gains
Isn’t it funny the world says we’re equal
but men make more money
If the works and skills are the same
equal pay should be the aim.

Chorus Two
Everyone should treated the same,
No matter their story, their face or their name!
Everyone should be treated the same,
Same fairness is the name of the game!
Everyone should be treated the same,
No matter their fortune or their fame!

Bridge – End
Mixed gender, normal gender
it doesn’t really matter
we’re all a gender.
Everyone bleeds
the same colour,
Everybody should
be treated equally,
Everybody should
be treated
with the same respect,
No one should be treated
differently because of their gender

Chorus Three
Everyone should treated the same,
No matter their story, their face or their name!
Everyone should be treated the same,
Same fairness is the name of the game!
Everyone should be treated the same,
No matter their fortune or their fame!
