Hands Off!

about

Inspiration for these lyrics actually came out of slogans printed on a "Slut Walk" flyer.

lyrics

Society said it's her fault, She didn't deserve this.
Cops blame the clothes she wore, she didn't want it
They say that "Boys will be boys...", She was never taken serious
Shatter the silence, Stop the violence!

You have the right to walk these streets alone,
To feel safe and not like you're a piece of meat.
However you dress and wherever you go...
Yes means yes and no means no!

They say "She wanted it.", What the fuck do they know?
You think she's into it just because you say so.
You've had a few too many, So that makes it ok?
You're just a piece of shit, the rapists always to blame.

You have the right to walk these streets alone.
To feel safe and not like you're a piece of meat.
However you dress and wherever you go...
Yes means yes and no means no!

You're a survivor, not gonna blame you.
You're a survivor, not gonna shame you.
You're a survivor, not gonna blame you.
You're a survivor, not gonna shame you.

You have the right to walk these streets alone.
To feel safe and not like you're a piece of meat.
However you dress and wherever you go...
Yes means yes and no means no!
