Parental Discretion is Overly Advised


Oh honey, lock the door on the way out,

and shut those windows, keep the daylight out!

We don't want scary strangers looking in.

Oh and stay indoors, rapists will snatch you in

their big white vans with windows blacked,

and be careful at night, girls like you get attacked

especially when their pretty and weak

just be safe, honey, please don't speak

your mind or thoughts

they'll get miscontrued and get you in trouble

'cause some think they're rude! And don't go to school you'll be too far!

I want to keep you always in arms

length. I want to keep you safe; stay around.

Don't go outside. Don't make a sound.
