Shake it like a salt shaker
I wanna fuck you like an animal
Back that ass up
Let me see that thong
she says "this pussy's yours, Daddy"

Oh give me that ass
Shake that ass ho, make that cash ho
Pop that pussy ho
So take off all your clothes
I'm bare boned and crazy for you

Girl you know I like it when you climb on top
U make me wanna sweat
We've only just met and I'm undressing you with my eyes
Hit me baby one more time
I'm a slave 4 you

Girl you look like someone I done fucked before
Creepin' up and down now
I see you winding and grinding up on that pole
I wanna fuck you, you already know
Oh what we do when the pants are down

Down and dirty, hot and squirty
Only good for a fuck
You know you gotta back the fuck up
I know you want it, the thing that makes me
It's fuck and run, fuck and run, even when I was twelve.


Turn it up
Listen to the shit they pump into your head
Filling you with apathy
Sex, sex, sex, is that who we are?
6 year old shaking their asses?
Parents wake up and smell the dead roses.

Music today is full of shit
Demeaning, demoralizing, yet we dance around
the further we go, the worse it gets
the worse it gets, the further we go
'Til every girl in the world is a ho

What could be done?
Does the world even care?
Do we notice the cost, the loss?
We encourage rape, don't procrastinate
Take a stand, get off your ass, don't fuck around.

A woman is worth more than the contents of her pants
More than what's under that shirt
Quit thinking with your dick
and learn some respect,
then you'll grow a pair.

Women grow up and understand
The world's a different place,
if you'd put the wheel in your hands
Use your brain and eyes to win a guy
Don't try with what's between your thighs.

Let's get back to the days of living under the sea
To the days of flying a kite, and yellow submarines
What the world needs now is love, such love
Give a reason to keep the chin up, and whistle while we work
Take a listen to your music, and think about what it says.



Yes, the first half of this poem that I wrote a few years ago is all quotes from, mostly, popular music. These were from songs that are often played on the radio, at least at the time.
But yes, I was at the local Farmers Market, and there was a performing dance group of very young girls dancing to a song that had the lyrics "Can you shake it?" in a male voice with a echoed "I can shake it!" in a female voice. These six year old girls were shaking their rear ends. I wanted to smack every one of their parents, and the dance teacher. What kind of message are we sending children? Ok, so maybe right now they don't understand what the song is or what they're doing, but it sticks in their brains. I remember singing in the children's choir at church, and I remember one of the songs. These little girls are going to remember dancing to this junk. And unless someone steps in and tells them that it's not ok, they are going to continue shaking their asses.
We're creating a world where sex is trivial and common. And we're setting up a world where rape will be common....no, rape is common. I find it most horrible that more than half of the girls I know have been sexually assaulted in some form or another, many in the form of rape. This is not ok. We can't create a world where people are afraid to live.
Take a stand and don't listen to music of this sort. Listen to you music, and be one difference. And if you have kids, or plan to someday have kids, be sure to teach them that sex is special, and should be with someone special, and that anything less is not ok. Teach them that sex is also about what you can give your partner, not what you can take from your partner.

That's what I believe.
