Lovercall – Danko Jones – letras

Every 45 seconds a woman is rapedOur sexist culture allows no escapeThe is violent crime is far from obscurityWhen the rate of victims is one in threeSociety conditions men to be rapistsAnd our indifference perpetuates itWith derogatory language that tends to dehumanizeMaking it easier for men to victimizeAnd the pornographic images that help portrayWomen as legitimate sexual preyWhen sexism is embedded in our judicial systemIt’s no surprise why the courts won’t listenAnd the role of attacker and survivor become distortedSo the majority of rapes are never reportedThe threat of rape is always thereIt’s like a poison that saturates the airA society stricken by a cancerous diseaseWhere men know they can do as they pleaseYou tell me the punishment for rapeYou tell me how much jail time it will takeWhen one out of three women will be rapedYou tell me what it’s going to fucking takeDo you see me in my low cut shirtOr high heel shoes or a miniskirtWoman is the victim you desireYou say you can’t resist your predatory fireYou tell me why I stand guilty and accusedYou tell me when I’m beaten an abusedWhen it’s my body that’s been raped and defiledYou tell me why I’m the one on trialDefense attorney?: Do you know the man who »allegedly » attacked you?Victim?: Yes I know the man who raped me.Defense attorney?: And isn’t this man a friend ofyours?Victim?: Well I thought he was a friend of mine.Defense attorney?: And were you drinking that night he’allegedly » attacked you?Victim?: I had a drink or two but is that a crime?Defense attorney?: I’ll ask the questions if you don’tmind!-What were you wearing: How did you act?Victim?: My wardrobe isn’t an invitation for a man toattack.-I didn’t act in any way to bring this on. Why am I ontrail? What did I do wrong?Defense attorney?: Could you tell the jury why you letthis happen?Victim?: I was in shock. I couldn’t stop him.Defense attorney?: You claim that you were raped buthow do we know?Victim?: I said no, I said no, no, no!Defense attorney?: Isn’t it true you’re just a womanscorned?Victim?: I’m a woman who’s been raped and torn.Defense attorney?: Your honor, I demand that this casebe dismissed,-it all comes down to her word against his!I may not have bruises all over my bodyBut when I went to his room I never would have guessedThat he would force my no to mean a yesYou tell me why I’m guilty of this crimeYou tell me why the responsibility is mineWhen women suffer a second rape during trialCourts help rapists to violate and defile
