One woman's bad-ass anthem is about to go viral: 'It's A Scary Time' (for boys)

[CousinIT]

It would be a good thing to ensure the assholes who lead the effort to shove Brett Rapenaugh on the USSC see this - a LOT.

I CAN’T WALK TO MY CAR LATE AT NIGHT WHILE ON THE PHONE

I CAN’T OPEN UP MY WINDOWS WHEN I’M HOME ALONE

I CAN’T GO TO A BAR WITHOUT A CHAPERONE

AND I CAN’T WEAR A MINI SKIRT IF ITS THE ONLY ONE I OWN

I CAN’T USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AFTER 7 PM

I CAN’T BE BRUTALLY HONEST WHEN YOU SLIDE INTO MY DMS

I CAN’T GO TO THE CLUB JUST TO DANCE WITH MY FRIENDS

AND I CAN’T EVER LEAVE MY DRINK UNATTENDED

BUT IT SURE IS A SCARY TIME FOR BOYS

YEAH GENTLEMEN! BAND TOGETHER, MAKE SOME NOISE

ITS REALLY TOUGH WHEN YOUR REPUTATION’S ON THE LINE

AND ANY WOMAN YOU’VE ASSAULTED COULD TURN UP ANYTIME

YEAH, IT SURE IS A SCARY TIME FOR GUYS

CAN’T SPEAK TO ANY WOMEN OR LOOK THEM IN THE EYES

ITS SO CONFUSING, IS IT RAPE OR IS IT JUST BEING NICE?

SO INCONVENIENT THAT YOU EVEN HAVE TO THINK TWICE

I CAN’T LIVE IN AN APARTMENT IF IT'S ON THE FIRST FLOOR I CAN’T BE WEARING SILK PAJAMAS WHEN I ANSWER THE DOOR

I CAN’T HAVE ANOTHER DRINK EVEN IF I WANT MORE

I CAN’T MAKE YOU FEEL INVALID, UNSEEN, OR IGNORED

I CAN’T JOG AROUND THE CITY WITH HEADPHONES ON MY EARS

I CAN’T SPEAK OUT AGAINST MY RAPIST AFTER 35 YEARS

I CAN’T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY IF I'M HOLDING BACK TEARS

AND I CAN’T EVER SPEAK EARNESTLY ABOUT ALL MY FEARS

BUT IT SURE IS A SCARY TIME FOR DUDES

CAN’T TEXT A GIRL REPEATEDLY ASKING FOR NUDES

CAN’T MAKE HER HAVE SEX WHEN SHE’S NOT IN THE MOOD

AND WHAT GIVES HER THE RIGHT TO GIVE YOU ATTITUDE??

YEAH, IT SURE IS A SCARY TIME FOR MEN

GIRLS LIKE TO ACT LIKE YOU’RE TO BLAME AND THEY’RE THE VICTIMS

HER DRESS WAS SHORT AND SHE WAS DRUNK, SHE’S NOT SO INNOCENT

THANK GOD YOUR DAD’S THE JUDGE AND YOU WON’T BE CONVICTED

OH WAIT...THAT’S RIGHT… IT’S NOT SUCH A SCARY TIME FOR BOYS

THEY’VE ALWAYS HAD THE UPPER HAND, THEY’VE ALWAYS HAD A CHOICE

IT’S TIME FOR WOMEN TO RISE UP, USE OUR COLLECTIVE VOICE

THE DAY TO VOTE’S NOVEMBER 6, SO LET’S GO MAKE SOME NOISE

1. This is very good!

[malaise]

2. That is great

Rec

[MineralMan]

3. Love it!

[renate]

4. thank you for including the lyrics for those of us who can't listen right now

Good for her!

I hope this woman's song, and Taylor Swift's speaking up, and (if it's not coming, it'd be political malpractice) a GOTV campaign aimed at young people will get a whole generation getting mad and getting involved and voting.

My daughter can't wait to vote

[Squinch]

5. Kick. Great!

[SunSeeker]

6. Love it!

[backtoblue]

7. TRUTH!!! K&R

[ProudProgressiveNow]

8. Bravo!

[FakeNoose]

9. This is great, and I hope she can get it professionally recorded

It would be nice if a sound engineer could turn down the banjo a little, and crank up her voice a little.
It's not that complicated for professional sound studios to do.

Great song and very appropriate for this election!

[DinahMoeHum]

10. Me likey.

[Loryn]

11. She's awesome!

Well done

[Stallion]

12. It's Kinda Like Our Own Vietnam out There for Us Po'Boys

[BigmanPigman]

13. Thanks for the lyrics. It was posted this morning

and I shared it and the lyrics really help.

[lancelyons]

14. That was very nice. Talented lady and perfect for today.

[aggiesal]

15. SNL should give her a call ...

So she can sing it live with whoever is the musical host for the week,
in front of a national audience.

Or, better yet, do something like "We Are The World".
Where famous female musicians/entertainers come together to record
the song with each singing one of the lines.

It's a great song, and the fact that's she's mocking IQ45 is the
"Cherry on Top".

FANTASTIC.

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

41. WTF is up w SNL's musical guest choices anyway? While there are great female groups

...and solo artists out there just killing it?

So many SNL music spots have suuuuuuuuuucccckkkked.

Why not give a boost to a very worthy new band or act like...

Dream Wife

The Regrettes

Mitski

Snail Mail

Wolf Alice (female frontwoman; great, heavy rockin songs to choose from)

The female duo who does Locker Room Talk, I forget their name

Inspired, topical, good music is going begging for visibility while SNL feeds us, mostly, crap.

And yes PLEASE get THIS girl on the show live BEFORE THE ELECTIONS.

[NewJeffCT]

16. it's up around 1 million views

the last I checked

[apkhgp]

22. I can hear her singing all the way to my house

Really heartwarming to know we still have a right to speak our mind. The Right Wing has not taken that away yet.

[liberalla]

23. WOW! I love it!

Excellent!

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

24. Please vote. Women, and men who authentically care about them as people

rather than as possessions.

You in neither of those two groups: Stay home election day and raise your jacked-up truck higher or screw some more blinding fog lights onto it or something.

[KT2000]

25. She should start on

the late night shows, then CNN, MSNBC, and fox too.

[List left]

26. Damn Girl......Tell it like it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nt

39. Spanish translation posted in the comments on YouTube by Maternidarks:

No puedo caminar a mi coche tarde en la noche con el teléfono en la mano
No puedo abrir mis ventanas cuando estoy sola en casa
No puedo ir a la barra de un bar sin un chaperon
Y no puedo llevar una mini falda si es la única que tengo

No puedo utilizar el transporte público después de las 7 pm
No puedo ser brutalmente honesto cuando te metes en mi dms
No puedo ir al club para bailar con mis amigos
Y no puedo dejar mi bebida desatendida

Pero ¡uf! ¡seguro es un tiempo muy terrible para los hombres!
¡sí, caballeros! Júntense, hagan algo de ruido
Es muy difícil cuando tu reputación está en la línea
Y cualquier mujer que has abusado podría acusarte en cualquier momento

Sí, seguro que es un tiempo dificil para los chicos.
No puedes hablar con ninguna mujer o mirarlas a los ojos
Es tan confuso, ¿es violación o es solo ser agradable?
Tan inconveniente que tengas que pensarlo dos veces

No puedo vivir en un apartamento si está en el primer piso
No puedo llevar pijamas de seda cuando respondo a la puerta
No puedo tomar otro trago incluso si quiero más
No te puedo hacer sentir invalidado, no visto o ignorado

No puedo correr por la ciudad con auriculares en mis oídos
No puedo hablar contra mi violador después de 35 años
No puedo ser tomada en serio si estoy aguantandome las lágrimas
Y nunca puedo hablar frente a todos de todos mis temores

Pero ¡seguro es un tiempo muy dificil para los hombres!
No pueden textear a una chica insistentemente para pedir nudes
No puedes obligarla a tener sexo cuando no tiene ganas
¿y qué le da el derecho a ella a tratarte asi?

Sí, seguro que es un tiempo terrible para los hombres.
A las niñas les gusta actuar como si fueras el culpable y ellas son las víctimas
Su vestido era corto y ella estaba ebria, no es tan inocente
Gracias a dios tu padre es el juez y no serás condenado

Oh, espera ... Eso es correcto ...

No es un tiempo tan terrorífico para los hombres
Siempre tienen la preferencia siempre han tenido una elección
Es hora de que las mujeres se levanten,
Utilizar nuestra voz colectiva
El día para votar el 6 de noviembre, así que hagamos ruido
