Theresa Zanon - My Reality Lyrics

When I'm walking home from work late at night
Do I feel scared or do I play the brave girl?
"You should be cautious but in a realistic way"
How should I know what is too much when I don't feel okay?
Don't walk alone
Avoid small streets
And dress appropriately
Say No but be polite
Or you would act histerically
Don't show your hair
Don't turn around
Don't look them in the eyes
Otherwise you will be caught up in sick old pick up lines
And every day on the news there is another case
Another girl's missing
Or thrown in front of the train
How am I supposed to feel safe
When I am taught to behave differentely
So I don't get raped
It's a never ending game
It will always stay the same
Why did I think they would change
But what if they could see
My Reality
And after ten times saying "No"
The one thing you respect
Is my imaginary boyfriend
And not the boundaries I've set
I'm not your property
I'm not the girl that wants you too
I am f*cking human with a couple of basic ground rules
It's a never ending game
It will always stay the same
Why did I think they would change
But what if they could see
My Reality
You have to live with it
'Cause this is how the world works
You had it coming
'Cause you had to wear this tight shirt
Why don't you take it as a compliment instead?
You can keep fighting
But you'll never change a damn thing
Boys will be boys
And you will always know the ending
No man is guilty when he has natural instincts, no
