From the album "My Revenge" (2004)

Recorded in Boston, MA

lyrics

The streets aren't safe and I can't sleep
Thinking about them holding down arms and feet
Sick and twisted fucks are out in the dark
Bag your head and have their way with you down at Franklin Park
A girl got off the bus and was approached by a few men
They gang-raped her on the bike trail right then and there
high-traffic area and no one saw it?
I read the paper the next day did anyone write a column?
2 males ride around in a well-described car
picking up womyn by gun-point at sunset
Brutally rape them and beat them with a gun
Cops say their "looking" but haven't found anyone
I put up some flyers and we had a vigil
but it happens again and rapists aren't getting the signal
The healing process takes more than days and hours
But put a bullet in a rapist's head and the streets are ours

Three guys wearing baseball caps
grabbed someone outside the club last night
they held her down while she kicked and screamed
They carved the word "fag" right into her skin
The tolerence in this city is so upsetting
I'm not saying a song is setting things right again
I fail alot in my own apathectic reactions
I'm not sure how to stop this from happening
It make me afraid of myself because of my gender
Am I at fault because of my genitals?
I start to think about self-mutilation
Ease my mind that I'm physically incapable
Of ever causing this kind of harm
No blood on the hand at the end of this arm
One sure way to find resolution
Dead men don't rape so shoot to kill

Dead men don't rape
