lyrics

She walks the streets at night
Well she really shouldn't, should she
What did she expect in that mess
Wearing a short, short skirt on a short, short dress

Her mum taught her the lesson early on
To filter out the voices on the pavement
She said "Don't listen - ignore their calling
"They can't do anything to you my darling"

Look at her face and look at her clothes
She was asking for it, don't you know
I can't be what I am, I can't be what I know
Since when was my body not my own?

Judgements are made and criticisms run high
Clip the wings of the youth so they'll never fly
Escape from the patriarchy escape from your life
You'll be so much more than someone's husband or wife

I can make my own destiny, I don't need no one else
I'm not a stereotype, I am my own self
I can be who I am, I can make it alone
Because my mind and my body are my own
