How Do We Stop It?

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
