I'd love to live in a world where
Women don't have to walk home alone
With mace in one hand and their house keys
Gripped like talons in the other

Because they don't want her to be intelligent,
They just want to fuck her
I'd love to live in a world where
Rape victims aren't disbelieved and
Disregarded like last week's news,
Haunted both privately and publicly by
The abuse they've suffered
I'd love to live in a world where
An eleven-year-old girl can exist
Without being molested by the people
Who were supposed to protect her

Because we don't live in that world yet
But we're damn well fighting to
