Red Guillotine

I’m bad at being a woman because I won’t want to listen to lack of conviction And now I’m a bitch because I don’t like it when you stare We say, “They can’t help it. The average man is a lecher” And because of their weakness it’s my job to surrender? Can’t leave my house alone if darkness has started to fall They’re not in controls of their bodies and somehow that’s my fault I don’t care if you hate it, your views are outdated I’ve lived a life hardened by suspicion Too careful when I make my decisions The world has sided with the wolves Because the lambs look too delicious I’m not helpless, not made for consumption I’m on the verge of eruption You try to tell us who to trust, but when we get hurt you always blame us Why? Why do you do that? You tell us we’re the ones in charge, be sweet, be nice, but don’t go too far And you should be okay You want us to submit, but don’t lead you on, but don’t be a bitch, and smile and wink, Just don’t drink, or you might get assaulted And you know they’ll say it’s your fault / go against everything you were taught No one cares anymore Years of warnings gone to waste so an asshole could get a taste And he’s the one we exalt We won’t be wronged anymore / We know what we’re fighting for So you can hate and you can ridicule It won’t mean a thing / Next to the pain we’ve endured, the words are no more than a sting We’re calloused and bruised Got nothing to lose
