"Oh, they aren't listening to the words.
They just like the beat."
I don't know why you aren't listening to me,
when I tell you that they do.
There's no way they can't.
I don't know how you continue to turn a blind eye,
while your nine year olds mouth the words "menage a trois"
as they jump around on the dance floor.
You doing nothing
is doing serious damage.
They will grow up believing that if the words
that turn women into objects were so wrong,
Mom would have stopped them.
The will grow up thinking that if they were really worth
more than what records say they are,
You would have told them.
They aren't listening to the words.
The words are raising them.
