Nightjogging - Get Well Soon, Kat Frankie

Should she be glad about how far we’ve come this day and age?

Should she save the money for a late cab ride home with her wage?

Should she bear the old fart explaining the world and its way?

Should she be blamed because she dressed as she liked that day?

Should they be selling pepper spray at every goddamn shop?

Should they keep up the thread?

It’s the strangers in a mob

Should limitations be so old that they are forgotten about?

Should they spread the blame?

The whore or the boyscout

Going nightjogging

In the wrong neighbourhood

Although mama told me

That I never should

Going nightjogging

In the wrong part of town

Just try and touch me

You’re going down

He should know it’s C19H28O2 that’s poisoning the wells

He should know the lethal end of all these locker room tales

He should bear the whistle that he blows when he wants to grope

He should admit there are two different worlds on this globe

We should see no boy’s born a man, it is what he becomes

We should not scare our daughters, we must teach our sons

We should know: violence has no race, no religion, no class

But we should not deny what gender it has

Going nightjogging

In the wrong neighbourhood

Although mama told me

That I never should

Going nightjogging

In the wrong part of town

Just try and touch me

You’re going down

And boys won’t be boys

Yes boys won’t be boys

Won’t be boys

Boys won’t be boys
