Lyrics - Don't Silence Me (activate caption for lyrics in video)
Don't Silence Me
big boy plays around
holds you down
you don't make a sound
oh, please make him stop
but I don't wanna lose my job
oh, oh, don't silence me
what if they say you lied
felt obliged
crossed a line?
too late to ask for help
they’ll say ‘she brought it on herself ’
oh, oh, don't silence me
oh, oh, don't silence me
and take your hands off my sister
didn't you hear her say NO?
step away from her, mister
I think it's time for you to go
small town
people talk
just shake it off
and take a walk
law man
hangs around
the bullies of the playground
oh, oh, don't silence me
we’re all complicit
and this is how we do business
hey, hey NDA -
now I've got nothing more to say
oh, oh, don't silence me
oh, oh, don't silence me
and take your hands off my sister
didn't you hear her say NO!?
just step away from her, mister
i think it's time for you to go
you can't buy my silence
cos I'm not for sale
and I'm no longer buying
no matter how inconsequential
powerless and small
you try to make me feel …
so take your hands off my sister
didn't you hear her say NO!?
step away from her mister
i think it's time for you to go
now it's time to make it stop
now you know your time is up
ritual humiliation
power grabbing situations
take your hands off my sister
step away from her mister
now it's time to make it stop
now you know your time is up
