Too Young To Notice

You were supposed to be my teacher, there to help me find my voice
When I turned twelve, you turned my head to kiss me
Guess I had no choice
Looking back, your lessons taught me it's unsafe to be with boys
It only took me twenty years, Me too
Her too, to make some noise

You were supposed to be my doctor, there to check up on my health
When I sat upon your table, sick, you couldn't help yourself
Cause I was barely ten years old, man that took a lot of nerve
Hippocratic oath to shit, you gotta get what you deserve

Cause even if I was too young to notice
You weren't too old to see
And even if they were too blind to stop it
I won't go quietly

Cause even if I was too young to notice
You weren't too old to see
And even if they were too blind to stop it
I won't go quietly

You were supposed to be my boss, there to let me make my name
Never thought you'd be a problem though, you were happily engaged
But happy hour's got you slurring, flirting with no game
Until you're grasping without asking, tell me, why do I feel shame

So, we took the pill and we drank the sour
Some bled to death in just an hour
You medicate me from my power
I sing of lost cunts in the shower
Don't mistake my truth for anger
Don't make us use the metal hanger
You tell us not to trust a stranger
But it's those we know who are the danger

Cause even if I was too young to notice
You weren't too old to see
And even if they were too blind to stop it
I won't go quietly

Cause even if I was too young to notice
You weren't too old to see
And even if they were too blind to stop it
I won't go quietly

But it doesn't matter, does it? Seems like y'all are still employed
We have to teach you everything you weren't, so I'm annoyed
Cause that is painful labor, I didn't ask to have you boy

My body's under jurisdiction, now we have no fucking choice
