Give Us Back Our Girls
If I went back in time
To steal his favorite toy
The boy
Might think
I did him wrong
Might think
What a bitch she is for taking what's mine
Find my favorite toy
Put it back where it belonged
I wonder how he'd feel
If not only did I steal
But I killed the new dog he just bought
So I walked
Straight into his neighborhood
Quick and unannounced
With not an ounce
Of good intentions
I waited
I listened
I snatched her right out of her pen
And boy was she beautiful
With eyes that shined
I was deeply inclined
Just blame her kidnapping on the moon being full
There was no need to tell her
I had plans to sell her
Pure breed on the market
I'm well aware of their worth
Though not alive for long
Depending on how strong
The highest bidding bidder turned out to be
What's that look supposed to mean
There's nothing wrong with me
What's wrong is the fact
She fell into my trap
Haven’t seen her in months
Good luck getting her back
Give her back
Give us
Back
Our girls
This world is too cruel
It'd rather tell us in school
Cover up
Cover up
Cover up
That's the rules
It'd rather tell us in school
Beware of the fool
Your body is distracting
Stop trying to be cool
What should be taught in school
Is that respect is the golden rule
Whether my skirt reached my ankles
Or dangled above my knees
Girls
Are not and shall never be
Responsible for the boys’ learning
Laid back and undiscerning
While we are stuck concerning
Ourselves with how much skin
We're allowed to show
As if our skin smelled like secrets nobody needed to know
The boy should be learning
To keep his hands to himself
Keep his hands to himself
Or to jail he’s going to go
Let us not call him selfish
Let us not call him rude
Let us not call him monster
Let us not call him fool
This world is to cruel
Walking past the standing man
You fail to notice that bit of drool
This grown man with preying hands
Has followed you to school
He chased you as you ran
Till you ran out of fuel
Since that Monday morning
We haven’t heard from you
Mama's babygirl
Is somewhere in this world
So please give her back
Every single one
Give us
Back
Our girls
