Battered, broken, raped, abused
Injured party stands accused
Vicious culture of slut shame
Acceptable to victim blame
She’d had a drink, her skirt was short
She liked to firt, was just the sort
‘She asked for it’ you’ll hear them say
‘Boys will be boys’ so that’s OK
But that’s not how the story went
He never cared about consent
And now it seems she’ll serve her time
Trapped inside the scene of the crime
A wedding ring, a sexy dress
A lacy thong does not mean yes
Impossible to misconstrue
That ‘no means no’ so shame on you
