I Believe Them

[Verse 1]

They think that they'll wear us down

That we'll shut up and cop out

We won't cop out

They started too many fires

And now they're trying to pretend

There's no smoke

Nobodies know when no one else believes

How many "me too"s do you need to hear?

[Chorus]

How are we meant to protect ourselves?

How are we meant to protect ourselves?

[Verse 2]

Seen these patterns too many times beforе

Freedom of speech for him but not for her

Gossip, conspire, meddlе, bitch

When women speak we're met with disbelief

We need to be free to speak

To keep each other safe

When no one else will

Who else will?

[Chorus]

How are we meant to protect ourselves?

How are we meant to protect ourselves?

[Outro]

I believe them

I believe them

I believe them

I believe them

I believe them

I believe them

I know how hard it can be to speak (I believe them, I believe them)

I have felt the pain of disbelief (I believe them, I believe them)

I believe them

I believe them

I believe them

I believe them
