You Hear Yes lyrics by Destroy Boys
All I ask for is respect
I don’t get it from the state and I don’t get it from men
You take up spaces that aren’t yours
Because of history on whose side oh right it’s always yours!
And I just want
And I just want
Not to be needed
Not to be looked at with a menace and the thought of breathing
And it’s alright
Let’s step outside
[?]
Show my wrath get spit upon and learn the reasons why
Why can’t I walk in the street without men bothering me?
Why does he poison my heart
Control my life from afar?
I’m sick of being sad when I’m alone
I’m sick of being scared on my walk home
I’m sick of being trapped by what you impose
You hear yes when I say no
One step out of line, and I’m done
Medieval punishment for saying I won’t make you cum
Mosquito, an evil, you suck out all my blood
I’ll crush you like the bug you are underneath my thumb
Wants to get rid of me ’cause he’s afraid
Sick of thoughts of me taking his place
Refuse to back down in the eye of your hate
I’ll push you right back from whence you came
Why can’t I walk in the street without men bothering me?
Why does he poison my heart
Control my life from afar?
I’m sick of being sad when I’m alone
I’m sick of being scared on my walk home
I’m sick of being trapped by what you impose
You hear yes when I say no
When they don’t stop when you say stop
When they don’t stop when you say stop
When they stand too close on the sidewalk
My clothes don’t have pockets
And I’m forced to want it
Complain about a condom
I hate and love you it’s “stockholm”
I’m not your pretty girl
I never will be
Don’t look me up and down like I’m a piece of meat
I see how you degrade with no shame
So hear me when I say
I’m sick of being sad when I’m alone
I’m sick of being scared on my walk home
I’m sick of being trapped by what you impose
You hear yes when I say no
