Always An Excuse

You tell us women not to show our nipples
You say it’s dangerous to walk in the dark
You tell us women not to show our legs
You say we ask for it, if we walk in the park

You tell us women how to behave in public
You like us most when we are sexy and hot
You tell us women to be perfectly decent
and what we should wear, what to do or not

refr.
You men, you always have an excuse for rape
Always have an excuse for abuse
You always have an excuse for grabbing
Always an excuse to choose from

You tell us you know what kind of women we are
You’re calling us hookers, you’re calling us bitches
You say you can turn us, you say you can shape us
And if you cannot we are prudes or we’re witches

refr.

You say you don’t want us to breast feed in public
You can’t stand the sight but you are not possesive
You say you don’t want us to mention our periods
It makes you feel sick but you’re very progressive

You tell us women to hide our body
Or else you get horny and we are to blame
You tell us women not to hide our body
Or else we are dykes and you say that’s a shame

refr.: You men, you always have an excuse for rape (etc.)

You think we don’t have a reason to escape
We don’t have a reason to testify
You think we don’t have a reason to kill you, you dick
We do have a reason, you know very well why
