lyrics

Impunity

For whom the law is written ?
For the aggressor or for the victim ? [1]
Feeling ashamed
Forced to silence
Whose responsibility
Is really engaged ? [2]

Terror and insults
This is a campaign of hate [3]
Social impunity
This is our fucking system [4]
No right to anger
They want you silent

Oppressive voices are fighting
Against freedom and free speech
This is the fucking expression of fading superiority
Frightened by equality [5]
Frustrated minds
Fighting to be heard as victims
Trying to hide
Behind sexual misery [6]
Frightened by equality [5]

Their time has come

In Switzerland, a man cannot be a victim of rape, according to the law.

People suffering from rape and domestic violences (a majority of women) are often unable to talk about it and feels guilty of the situation :

Sexual misery is used by incels to justify their behaviors and their hate against women.
