Track Name: Foul Crux
Foul crux!
Track Name: Rape Culture
If he resists accountability, he should be beaten and removed from the scene. You’re a fucking waste; you’ve only got yourself to blame. There’s no excuse! Reject him! A rapist is a rapist by any other name. A rapist is a rapist, doubt he’ll ever change. A rapist is a rapist by any other name. A rapist’s still a rapist, I doubt he’ll ever change. I don’t care if he’s your friend. I don’t care if he’s your band mate. I don’t care if he’s your partner. A rapist is a rapist. I don’t care if he’s your father. I don’t care if he’s your brother. I don’t care if you don’t know him. A rapist is a rapist. Reject him!


Notes:
First, I want to acknowledge the fact that not only men can rape, abuse and assault. This song is about a specific person who identifies as male.
When a prominent male member of a community perpetrates rape, often times people will choose his story over the survivor’s. People don’t want their image of a friend, a band mate, or respected punk hero to change, so instead of challenging him and supporting the survivor by holding him accountable, they let rape slide. They say things like, “I wasn’t there, I don’t know what happened.” All they need to know is what the survivor said. The survivor’s story is the only story worth hearing. If you ignore or deny their story, you are denying rape and therefore perpetuating rape culture.
Track Name: Can't Get Through
When will you see
your selfish ways will only get you
diggin' your own hole

You don't get it

Call me spineless
call me what you will
but ha ha ha
the jokes on you

I can't relate to you, I don't get it.
I can't relate.
Track Name: Cat Call
I am sexualized everyday. Without my permission men gaze at me. They call me a slut, say “Hey baby”, tell me I look good. I didn’t ask for this! They project their desires onto me and it’s not about carnal knowledge. Power over my sex and my gender they take my power from me when they yell at me from their car or cat call as I ride my bike. They don’t know me or how I identify. Cat call! They call me a slut, say “Hey baby”, tell me I look good. They yell at me from their car or cat call as I ride my bike.

Notes:
Street harassment is inexcusable. People who cat call are entirely selfish in their motivations. We gain absolutely no empowerment from being yelled at on the street. I don’t care if its intended as compliment or insult, it comes from a position of privilege. When you are yelled at, yell back. Fight back!
Track Name: Pitriarchy
Pitriarch! Pitriarchy! It’s your fault if we’re knocked down. Pick us up. I wanna see ladies & queers in the pit. No bro hardcore macho bullshit. I wanna see ladies & queers on the the stage. No all dude girls exclude sexist attitude. I’m tired of standing in the back!
