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 could 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
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
How do we make it stop? Because even if we do report
They say our claims are invalidated
By a lack of "hard evidence"
Then they wonder why victims feel silenced
If it's in a dark alley or it's in a mosh pit
It's still sexual assault, how do we stop it?
