it honestly sounds like they're planning to kill Pulitzer.

DO YOU HEAR THE NEWSIES SING?! SINGING THE SONG OF ANGRY MEN…

Favorite part... "Write it in ink or blood it's the same either way...they're gonna damn well pay

No taxation without representation! Oh wait, wrong revolution.

i was singing this in the shower and my dad just passed by and clapped so i guess i'm ready for broadway

I love the change when they start "There's change coming once and for all!" Gives me chills how easy it flows

"They think they're runnin' this town, but this town would shut down with out us!" Probably my favorite line from the musical, there's so much power behind it! Always sends chills down my spine.

THIS SONG IS SO ANGRY AND POWERFUL AND THE HARMONIES HOLY SHIT

*types paper* *finishes in 2 hours* *types other paper* *listens to once and for all in background* *typing at 9999+ WPM due to excessive motivation of aggressive singing*

THIS MAKES MY CHEST FILL WITH PRIDE DURING THE HARMONIES AT THE END AND AHHHH

one of the many strokes of genius in this show that I've noticed is that it is A LOT of unison singing, but when they do break into harmonies it is an important line. Lines like "Pulitzer may own the world, but he don't own us. Pulitzer may crack the whip, but he won't whip us," "You can bet we won't let them bastards beat us. we won't beg no one to treat us fair and square. There's a life that's worth the livin, and I'm gonna do my share," "Once we'be begun, if we stand as one, someday becomes somehow, and a prayer becomes a vow," and of course "they think they're running this town, but this town'll shut down without us." There are many more examples of this, but these are just a few of my favorites. I think this concept really helps this powerful story as everyone is just singing the same notes and then (most of the time, sometimes the harmonies are lower) the tenors take these really high harmonies and that line and it's importance stands out to the audience.

"They think they're running this town, but this town would shut down WITHOUT US." LOVE that line!

People who jam to this song at rehearsals for a completely different musical, know my pain.

"This is for kids shining shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet every day, This is for guys sweating blood in the shops while the bosses and cops look away!" That line really doesn't get enough credit.... they're not just doing this for themselves, but every kid who's been wronged by authority figures. I love this play!

I saw Newsies on tour and 3:07 was the point at which I starting CRYING in the theatre

This is the ultimate "SHIZ IS GONNA GO DOOOOOOOOOOWWWNNNNN!" song.

This is so much better than the Disney movie version -- shows more of the desperation, determination, anger and pain. More realistic. Which is sad when you realize how bad it actually was.

When I listen to the song I always feel like getting up and leading a rebellion

I feel this is especially relevant right now with the teenagers protesting gun violence nd promoting for stronger gun legislation.

i love the final aggressive 'once and for all!' so much for some reason

omg my inner rage is COMMING OUT

The top harmonies in this song literally give me chills

I love listening to this song while I'm doing homework because I get so hyped like 'THIS IS THE STORY WE NEEDED TO WRITE WHEN WE KEPT OUT OF SIGHT' and before I know it I've drawn a hole through my calculus homework

“write it in ink or in blood it’s the same either way” *chefs kiss*

My choir is singing this song and I got the small female solo at the beginning, I have to sing it with these two amazing guys!! I'm so intimidated by them, I feel like I'm going to mess it up.. I'm so scared!! Its such an amazing song!

i my never know why but i love the line " once and for all if they don't mind their manners we'll bled 'em." i love the hole song because they prove you don't have to take any type of abuse!

I feel like this musical, and especially this song in particular, is really relevant nowadays.

That last note is absolutely crazy. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's a C# and I am a high tenor and that note SCARES ME! I can't believe they did this show 8 times a week. Absolutely amazing! I will always love Newsies

THAT TOTAL CHANGE DURING 3:09 THOUGH AH

It starts off so innocent and pure, and then-RAGE.

Hearst, Delancy, Pulitzer, and a random cop disliked the song

The back and forth at the end with everyone saying “once and for all” gives me chills every time.

I remember at my show last night, the climax of this song hit and everyone was cheering and clapping DURING the song. it was epic

I remember going into the audience with newspapers while singing “there’s change coming once and for all, you’re getting to weak, too old to keep holding on” etc. and that feeling of power and elation is just so legendary

3:08 is like a golden move in just dance

This song literally ALWAYS gives me goosebumps. Just keeping the story leading up to this in mind makes it so powerful. Geez, definitely my favorite song from the whole musical.

I love this song because it is extremely true, people to this day are going through this, and the way they express their emotion is breathtaking!!

The beginning of this song (and other parts of it) gives me such a strong "No Day But Today" vibe from Rent with the melody. "There's only us / There's only this / Forget regret / Or life's yours to miss"

I did this musical And boy this song still gives me the chills

Absolute *CHILLS* every time I hear this song

gosh this song makes me want to climb buildings in a single bound and sob in the fetal position and idk what else but i end up just sitting on the couch with my earbuds in mouthing the words very intensely

I should be studying for my finals but no... I'm singing non-stop this song

You can't help but sing along to this song. The energy is amazing and so strong

YEEEESSS the other day I was so sick of failing classes and sleeping all the time and having a therapist who doesn't help me, and then the Newsies came to me, singing "There's change coming once and for all" and I'm like, "DEPRESSION'S GONNA DARN WELL PAY."

once and for all, carrying the banner, and santa fe are my favorite newsies songs but its hard to choose

This song gives me chills everytime. You can hear the desperation and determination in their voice. 10/10 acting and singing in the musical

There's change coming once and for all You makes the front page and man, you is major news [Jack and Crutchie] Tomorrow they'll see what we are [Jack, Crutchie and Katherine] And sure as a star, we ain't come this far... to lose [Crutchie] Here they come!! [Ensemble] This is the story we needed to write as we're kept out of sight, well no more In a few hours by dawns early light we'll be ready to fight us a war This time we're in it to stay, talk about seizing the day Write it in ink or in blood, it's the same either way. They're gonna damn well pay! See old man Pulitzer snug in his bed, he don't care if we're dead or alive Three satin pillows are under his head, while we's begging for bread to survive Joe, you can stop counting sheep, we're gonna sing ya to sleep You've got your thugs with their stick and their slugs, Yeah! But we got a promise to keep! Once and for all if they don't find their manners, we'll bleed 'em! (Bleed 'em!) Once and for all we won't carry no banners that don't spell freedom! Finally we's raising the stakes, this time whatever it takes! This time the union awakes, once and for all! [Newsie] Come on, boys! [Ensemble] Yeah!! This is for kids shining shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet everyday This is for guys sweating blood in the shops while their bosses and cops look away I'm seeing kids standing tall, glaring and raring a brawl All of these guys who are sick of the lies getting ready to rise to the call! Once and for all they'll be blood on the wall if they doubt us They think they're running this town, but this town will shut down without us Ten thousand kids in the square, ten thousand fists in the air! Joe, you is gonna play fair, once and for all! Once and for all!! Once and for all!! Once and for all!! There change coming once and for all You're getting too old, too weak to keep holding on A new world is coming for you, and Joe, we is too! Til once and for all you're gone! [Jack] Once and for all! [Crutchie] Once and for all!! [Ensemble] Once and for all! (Once and for all!!)

This is my favorite song from the entire show. When I did this show, I was a background newsie and I had so much fun. This is one of the last songs, so everyone is tired as all get out by the end because of all the singing and dancing. But when we stood up on that piece of scaffolding belting our hearts out, all the pain and aching seemed to leave and we were filled with a newfound strength. On the 'There's change coming once and for all!' towards the end, our scaffolding moved forward. I've never felt more powerful in my entire life. Almost every single show the audience would applaud as we belted and sang our hearts out. I cried so hard at the cast party. I had so much fun doing this show.

This song sounds like a hero's version of the Mob Song from Beauty and the Beast. Coincidentally, Alan Menken wrote the music for both movies/musicals!

Aah that C# is so awesome at the end

The last once and for all at the end is so amazing!!

I remember this song from when I saw it during the tour, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I start tearing up every time I hear it now.

I love the transission of "Theres change coming"

I get chills every time at 3:08. The harmony is absolute perfection.

OH MY GOSH THAT ENDING!!!! THE BAND AND THE HARMONIES!!!! UGHHHHH!!!! GOOSEBUMPS EVERY TIME!!! THIS SONG IS SO INCREDIBLE!!!!

This song give me uneasy vibes like something big is going to happen then I'm like... oh that's what they want

the tone differences from the beginning of the song, when it’s slow and the it suddenly spikes up to this angry beat and voices and it’s just great.

The lyrics in this song are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like this song is especially relevant right now.

That high note is one of the best parts in the show hands down. So. Good.

The key change at 3:02 honestly sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it, It’s just amazing! Congrats to Alan Menken!

That last note...chills literal chills

This right here is a power of the next generation song. And I for one am so glad and proud to be part of that generation

The one person who disliked this is a hater of Broadway perfection,

Whenever he says "They're gonna damn well pay" I get chills.

This song is the song I listen to when I'm typing papers. #motivation ;)

this a awesome song for a choir same with the songs from this musical. my choir won a state competition

This song is the prefect blend of rebellion, pain, and glory. And I love it so DANG MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

Last month I finished my newsies broadway performance for the last time. This song was so beautiful and powerful! I can't listen to this song without crying tbh ):

Am I the only one who loves how he says “page” in the beginning? 0:20 It’s so good ❤️ PayUGE

The beginning and end of this song with the harmonies always makes me cry!!! It’s like so meaningful even tho what they actually saying is like “let’s get dat dude Pulitzer and let’s get sum mo money!”

i was Race in newsies when i was eight and i burst in tears

I feel like this is a good song for all the protests going on atm.

I got chills as soon as it started. Most powerful song ever. Once and for all we won't carry no banners that don't spell Freedom!

“They think they’re running this town, but this town will shut down without us” that is the motto of gen z

I get musical feels from this song

Talk about seizing the day

This is the second year I've started this song at 11:56:51:05 on Dec. 31st and I'm telling you, it gets me everytime. Chills down my spine, tears in my eyes, and everything😂🎉Happy New Year!2020

‘This town would shut down without us’ I keep listening to it over and over it’s ahh the harmonyy

I get chills at the end of this song - so amazing

this songs makes me so hyped uh

"Once and for allllllllll Once and for allllllllll Once and for allllllllll Once and for allllllllll *THERE'S CHANGE COMING ONCE AND FOR ALL* " Me: uncontrollable sobbing

Write it in ink or in blood its the same either way. They're gonna DAMN well pay. That. That's what does it for me. Fuck, just this song makes me want to start a fricking rebellion.

I'm doing a dance to this with my friends in a talent show. At the beginning we have notebooks and "writing" and when it goes "this is the story we needed to write..." We throw the notebooks and snap the pencils in half and start dancing

I just fell in love with newsies and this is going to always gonna be in my favorites :)

That c# gives me life

Definitely one of my fav songs in the musical

We preformed this show last year at my school and the last note of this song was so strong and powerful it left the audience in shock.

I started playing this at 11:56:51 so that the key change would hit as soon as New Years hit and I’m so buzzed

Am i the only one that heres a little high pich sqeek of "alright" after one of them says "come on boys" at 1:58

Why am I imagining the kids of Hogwarts singing this under Umbrige’s reign?

This is my favorite! Every time I hear it I start smiling :D

My favorite lines in the song: We’ll carry no banners that don’t spell freedom They think they’re running this town but this town would shut down without us This is for kids shining shoes in the street with no shoes on their feet every day

So I listen to this song almost everyday and I love it. The emotion and the harmonies and everything is so amazing. Newsies is an amazing musical.

“This is for kids shining shoes on the street with no shoes in their feet everyday...”

HOLY SHIT- This musical is amazing! I love how emotional and angry it is. Santa Fe is so desperate, but also emotional. This musical really gives some feels. Powerful.

God, 3:07 gives me chills. I'd probably cry if i saw it live

This is honestly my favorite song from the whole play. This and Santa Fe.

Anthem of 2020 right here

I wanna cry at the key change every time The emotions
