lyrics

As a teenage girl, no one ever told me to not accept it
As a teenage girl, I learned the hard way to expect it
As a teenage girl, no one ever told me what to do
When you see your favourite band and a group of men surround you
and in the crush of the crowd they try to touch between your legs
They aggressively grope at your breasts
What should be a joyous shared experience becomes their opportunity to molest
As a teenage girl, no one said I should speak out
As a teenage girl, no one said I could seek help
When I was watching a band and I was unable to fight off his hands
Paralyzed by the shock of forceful attention that I didn’t want
Is this just what happens at shows?
Is this a depressing rite of passage for every music loving girl?
All come forward
Come forward
We need to raise awareness
Just because we’re at a gig that doesn’t mean that you can touch us
Everyone, come forward
Come forward
We need to raise awareness
How do we make it stop?
Because even if we do report
They say our claims are invalidated
by a lack of “hard evidence”, then they wonder why the victims feel silenced
If it’s in a dark alley or it’s in a mosh pit, it’s still sexual assault, how do we stop it?
