Reclaim the night

Lyrics
Though Eve was made from Adam's rib Nine months he lay within her crib How can a man of woman born Thereafter use her s** with scorn? For though we bear the human race To us is given but second place And some men place us lower still By using us against our will If we choose to walk alone For us there is no safety zone If we're attacked we bear the blame They say that we began the game And though you prove your injury The judge may set the rapist free Therefore the victim is to blame Call it nature, but rape's the name Chorus: Reclaim the night and win the day We want the right that should be our own A freedom women have seldom known The right to live, the right to walk alone without fear A husband has his lawful rights Can take his wife whene'er he likes And courts uphold time after time That rape in marriage is no crime The choice is hers and hers alone Submit or lose your kids and home When love becomes a legal claim Call it duty, but rape's the name
