Lyrics
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
Hat I didn't want

Is this just what happens at shows?
Is this a depressing rite of passage for every music-loving girl?
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

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?
If it's in a dark alley or it's in a mosh pit
It's still sexual assault, how do we stop it?
