Muncie Girls – Respect lyrics

[Verse 1]
You weren’t taught it, respect
Or a sense of value of your equivalents
And it has a knock on effect:
Misogyny and tolerated violence

[Pre-Chorus]
I could turn a blind eye
Take the cruel with the kind
You won’t listen anyway
But I’ve always been taught
That you have to spare a thought
And if you’ve got something you wanna say…

[Chorus]
For the next few years
You can laugh and joke about
Your next victim
But when you’re all grown up
And your daughter cries you’ll be
Sorry you did this

[Verse 2]
…And it’s started again -
Another girl has lost her energy
And it’s so easy to pretend
That this doesn’t happen in our society

[Pre-Chorus]
I could turn a blind eye
Take the cruel with the kind
You won’t listen anyway
But I’ve always been taught
That you have to spare a thought
And if you’ve got something you wanna say…

[Chorus]
For the next few years
You can laugh and joke about
Your next victim
But when you’re all grown up
And your daughter cries you’ll be
Sorry you did this

[Bridge: News Report]
[? A culture in which other factors such as media objectification make it easier to see women as dehumanised objects for...]

[Chorus]
For the next few years
You can laugh and joke about
Your next victim
But when you’re all grown up
And your daughter cries you’ll be
Sorry you did this

[Chorus]
For the next few years
You can laugh and joke about
Your next victim
But when you’re all grown up
And your daughter cries you’ll be
Sorry you did this
