The boys played soccer at noon,
While the girls gossiped in the grass
The boy got dared to touch them,
While the girls made braids in each other's hair
The girls screamed,
Scared that the cooties would get them
But now they scream for a different reason, not the normal playful scream,
the painful sorrowing scream
Now they scream because the boys were never told to keep it in their pants,
So the girls cover up their shoulders because it's "to distracting" and cover up their legs because it's "slutty"
Now they scream because they have to face a reality that no one has bothered to fix
