lyrics

Why is it that I've just realised
These safety measures have been normalised all my life?
No punishment, not even penalised
So many men walk free leaving women traumatised
For justice she relives to retell her nightmare if she survives
For the judge and jury to decide that she lied, justice denied
And they're wondering why we won't speak our truth
And we're wondering why they turn a blind eye

We're warriors, coz that's what we've had to do
Is become warriors, to survive this sh*t that we go through
We're warriors. It's so messed up that we have to
Become warriors, still we're warriors through and through

How many routes or dresses have you changed
In an attempt to keep yourself safe?
Have you been torn between not wanting it to control you
At the same time not wanting to tempt fate? I have.
On a daily basis, choices taken away
They don't know what to say when you tell them
Every week three women are killed in the UK

We're warriors, coz that's what we've had to do
Is become warriors, to survive this sh*t that we go through
We're warriors. It's so messed up that we have to
Become warriors, still we're warriors through and through
