A Rapist in Your Path

By Las Tesis – Feminist collective in Chile.

The patriarchy is a judge
That judges us for being born
And our punishment
Is the violence you don’t see

The patriarchy is a judge
That judges us for being born
And our punishment
Is the violence that you can see

It’s femicide
Impunity for my killer
It’s a disappearance
It’s rape

And the fault wasn’t mine,
not where I was, not how I dressed
And the fault wasn’t mine,
not where I was, not how I dressed
And the fault wasn’t mine,
not where I was, not how I dressed
And the fault wasn’t mine,
not where I was, not how I dressed

The rapist was you
The rapist is you

It’s the cops
The judges
The state
The president

The oppressive macho state is a rapist in your path
The oppressive macho state is a rapist in your path

The rapist was you
The rapist is you
The rapist is You
The rapist is You
