about

This song was the culmination of my frustrations with the inextricable link between patriarchy and the state. Judges, politicians, police, and professors are some of the biggest perpetrators of gender violence yet are least likely to be held accountable because of their proximity to power.
One of the lyrics were inspired by the Chilean feminist protest song “Un Violador en tu camino”/“A Rapist in your path”:
“Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba ni cómo vestía.”/“And the fault was not mine, not where I went, not how I dressed.”
- Tammy

lyrics

She told the truth
And you chose to ignore,
It was not her fault
Not where she was,
Not what she wore.

Abusers cry to justify
The reasons they oppress,
It was not her fault
Not where she was,
Not how she dressed.

Fuck this bullshit.
You make me sick.
Why is he avoiding all accountability?
Abuse of power comes as no surprise.
