Fight Back

Fight Back - And Still We Sing: The Outspoken Collection

By day I live in terror
By night I live in fright
For as long as I can remember
A lady don't go out alone at night, no no
A lady don't go out alone at night

But I don't accept the verdict
It's a wrong one anyway
‘Cause nowadays a woman
Can't even go out in the middle of the day, safely
Can't go out in the middle of the day

And so we've got to fight back
In large numbers
Fight back, I can't make it alone
Fight back, in large numbers
Together we can make a safe home
Together we can make a safe home

Women all around the world
Every color, religion and age
One thing we’ve got in common
We can all be battered and raped
We can all be battered and raped

Some have an easy answer
They buy a lock and they live in a cage
But my fear is turning to anger
And my anger's turning to rage
And I won't live my life in a cage, no!

By day I live in terror
By night I live in fright
For as long as I can remember

A lady don't go out at night
fight back

1. Fight back because the police are a tragic farce.

We can't depend on anyone but ourselves so we might as well fight.

That's not an indictment of those who don't/can't it's just a call to fight whenever we can.

2. the song is about fighting back against the attitudes about rape, and what women are instructed

to do to avoid being raped, all of which are nonsense.

4. And when the song is over there are people who will not be moved.

Then what? Sing another song or actually fight back?
