I can't walk to my car late night while on the phone I can't open up my windows, when I'm home alone I can't go to a bar without a chaperone I can't wear a mini-skirt, if it's the only one I ownI can't use public transportation after 7PM I can't be brutally honest when you slide into my DM's I can't go to the club just to dance with my friends And I can't ever leave my drink unattendedBut it sure is a scary time for boys Yeah, gentlemen band together, make some noise It's really tough when your reputation's on the line And any woman you've assaulted could turn up any timeYeah, it sure is a scary time for guys Can't speak to any woman or look her in the eyes It's so confusing, is it rape or is it just being nice? So inconvenient that you even have to think twiceI can't live in an apartment if it's on the first floor I can't be wearing silk pajamas when I answer the door I can't have another drink even if I want more And I can't make you feel invalid, unseen, or ignoredI can't jog around the city with headphones on my ears I can't speak out against my rapist after 35 years I can't be taken seriously if I'm holding back tears And I can't ever speak earnestly about all these fearsBut it sure is a scary time for dudes Can't text a girl repeatedly asking for nudes Can't make a girl have sex when she's not in the mood And what gives her the right to give you attitude?Yeah, it sure is a scary time for men Girls like to act like you're to blame and they're the victim Her dress was short and she was drunk, she's not so innocent Thank God, your dad's the judge and you won't be convictedOh, wait a minute Ok, when you put in that way I guess it's'Cause it's not such a scary time for boys They've always had the upper hand, they've always had a choice It's time for women to rise up, use our collective voice The day to vote's November 6th, so let's go make some noise
