Perfect Victim

The woman walked down the lane all alone
She was still drunk and somewhere lost her phone
It's hard to walk in high heels and short skirt
She decided to take a shortcut, but was hurt

The world could not sympathize with her
The policeman asked: "Are you sure?
How many cocktails? Did you scream for a help?
You went to the club, you knew how it would end."

Why does she always have to try her best
For you to believe her pain isn't just a jest?

The woman walked down the crowded street.
She was wearing long skirt, below the knees
Hand in hand with her friend, but it didn't help
They couldn't prevent a terrible end

She had all the evidence, but rapist was spared
I guess she wasn't pretty enough for anyone to care
She must be the best actress in Hollywood
The purest child so that her suffering would
Touch you enough to help

Why does she always have to try her best
For you to believe her pain isn't just a jest?

If a woman ever stops sleeping with a knife
Under a pillow to be able to save her life
If she won't be the best patriarchal wife
If she'd be to tired to deal with a strife
Will you blame her?
Will the law protect her?
Will you even call her a victim?
Or would you say she should be more careful next time and won't do anything to a criminal cause this fucked up society sees no worth in women?!

Why does she always have to try her best
For you to believe her pain isn't just a jest?
Why does she always have to try her best
For you to believe her pain isn't just a jest?
