Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes
Don’t grope people at punk shows
Even if the music’s really good
Even if you think you should
Don’t grope people at punk shows!
If they haven’t asked, don’t do it
If they haven’t said yes, don’t move it
If they haven’t given explicit, coherent consent…
Put it between your legs and go…
Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes!
If someone prefers the pronouns ‘they and them’
They have a right to exist and be self-expressing
They have a right be themselves without your blessing
And if you don’t know what pronouns are,
Get a dictionary and you’ll know…
Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes!
If someone says they’re a man or a woman
Or happily ambiguous
Don’t ask them if they’d had the op
Or what they keep between their legs
And if someone wears a skirt, or socks, or a piercing
Or has a tattoo or a funny looking earring
You’ve got no right to call them hooker or ho…
Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes!
And if someone’s in a wheelchair
Don’t ask them what went wrong
And if someone’s not white
Don’t ask them where they’re from
Don’t mansplain
Or say the word Meninist
Because your tiny mind
Can’t understand feminists
The world’s moving forward and you’re too slow…
Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes!
And if you still don’t understand…
Here’s a hundred anti-fascists with two hundred ready hands
Because the world no longer bows down to your straight and narrow plans
We are all minorities, we are all queer, we are all women and trans
We are all disabled and vegetarian
we are everything that you are scared of
We are here, and we will not disappear, we’re the broken toys at the back of the shelf
We are finally together and we are proud to be ourselves
So keep your Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes
To yourself
Don’t grope people at punk shows
Even if the music’s really good
Even if you think you should
Don’t grope people at punk shows!
If they haven’t asked, don’t do it
If they haven’t said yes, don’t move it
If they haven’t given explicit, coherent consent…
