FINAL Lyrics (reposted for Amanda Nguyen and RISE
who won the landmark victory to pass a Bill of Rights
through Congress protecting Rape Victims, by reforming
procedural flaws causing further injustice and trauma):
<BR><BR>
Don't Blame Victims for the Crime
<BR><BR>
[How dare you blame me<BR>
After you rape me]<BR>
<BR><BR>
How dare you blame me<BR>
For things beyond my control<BR>
How dare you make up lies<BR>
That I consented<BR>
I clearly was passed out cold<BR>
I'm not the one on trial. Don't<BR>
Point your filthy little guilty<BR>
Fingers at me. I'm lucky I'm alive<BR>
This almost killed me<BR>
<BR><BR>
Why am I judged by society?<BR>
While you deny what you did to me?<BR>
If I'm not crazy I'd lose my mind<BR>
Reading the headlines:<BR>
Blaming victims for the crime!<BR>
<BR><BR>
Will Lady Justice<BR>
Get sold to the highest bid?<BR>
Is every Jury biased?<BR>
By what I'm wearing when<BR>
NOTHING that I said or did<BR>
Could ever justify this!<BR>
<BR><BR>
Laws were not intended to be<BR>
Used to SHAME<BR>
And silence every witness<BR>
To this sickness!<BR>
<BR><BR>
Why is due process denied to me?<BR>
While you get off with LUNACY?<BR>
Have we gone crazy and lost our minds<BR>
Repeating headlines?<BR>
Blaming victims for the crime!<BR>
<BR><BR>
[How dare you blame us<BR>
And not the rapists]<BR>
<BR><BR>
My baby sister,<BR>
She takes this upon herself.<BR>
I told her maybe<BR>
It would have been someone else...<BR>
<BR><BR>
Who cries in the dark<BR>
Her life torn apart<BR>
While dangerous killers walk free<BR>
Till we cure the real disease<BR>
Abuse can be healed<BR>
Prevented in time<BR>
Till then who's paying for the crime?<BR>
<BR><BR>
We won't put up with society<BR>
Condemning us, while crooks go free!<BR>
Sign our petition, tell all your friends<BR>
Everyone online: STOP<BR>
Don't blame victims for the crime!<BR>
<BR><BR>
Let Justice prevail<BR>
Not suffer for sale<BR>
By criminals courts, where drug lords<BR>
Traffic women through the jails.<BR>
The cycle can break<BR>
When we make up our minds:<BR>
Don't blame victims for crime!<BR>
<BR><BR>
STOP - RAPE - NOW<BR>
<BR><BR>
