I canât walk to my car late at night while on the phone
I canât open up my windows when Iâm home alone
I canât go to the bar without a chaperone
I canât wear a mini skirt if itâs the only one I own
I canât use public transportation after 7 PM
I canât be brutally honest when you slide into my dms
I canât go to the club just to dance with my friends
And I can never leave my drink unattended...
But it sure is a scary time for boys, yeah Gentleman band together make some noise
Itâs really tough when your reputations on the line
And any woman youâve assaulted could show up any time
Yeah, it sure is a scary time for guys
canât look at any woman or look her in the eyes
Itâs so confusing, is it rape or just being nice
So inconvenient that you even have to think twice
I canât live in an apartment if itâs on the first floor
I canât be wearing silk pajamas when I answer the door
I canât have another drink even if I want more
And I canât make you feel invalid on the scene or ignored
I canât jog around the city with headphones on my ears
I canât speak out against my rapist after 35 years
I canât be taken seriously if Iâm holding back tears
And I can never speak earnestly about all these fears cuz...
It sure is a scary time for dudes
Canât text a girl repeatedly asking for nudes
Canât make a girl have sex when sheâs not in the mood
And what gives her the right to give you attitude
It sure is a scary time for men
Girls like to act like youâre to blame and theyâre the victim
Her dress was short and she was drunk sheâs not so innocent
Thank god your dads a judge and you wonât be convicted
.....oh thatâs right...oh yeah yeah
Itâs not such a scary time for boys
Theyâve always had the upper hand, theyâve always had a choice
Itâs time for women to rise up use our collective voice
The day to vote is Nov 6th so letâs go make some noise
