about

It's really easy to use Google and find shitty statistics that apply to you if you identify as a woman. We used them in this song.

1 in 4 women will be raped or experience sexual violence in their lives
3 women a week die at the hands of their partner or ex partner (this is now 2 a week, still 2 too many)
Women are paid 15% less than men doing the same job
This government pledged that the cabinet would be 25% (and then a a third) women by 2015...

lyrics

1 in 4, 1 in 4, 1 in 4 told she's a whore
3 a week, 3 a week, 3 a week found on the floor
Where's this 25% you promised?
Where's this third of the cabinet pledge?

5 to 1, 5 to 1, outnumbering me in Westminster
15%, 15%, 15% wage gap for her
Where's this 25% you promised?
Where's this third of the cabinet pledge?

I exist, I exist, I exist you motherfucker
I am here, now's our time
Never give up, never give in

50% of the fucking nation
Half of everything you see
Reduced to body parts
Luscious tits and arse
No personality

This is a call to arms
This is a call to drop the diet pills
This is a call to saying no
Not now, not ever
