lyrics

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear?
Feel the fear?

Don’t walk in the dark
Don’t walk through the park
Don’t ever walk alone
Let us know when you’re home

Take the lit routes
Always walk the long way round
Cross the road if you need to
Don’t look down

Walk with confidence
Look hard, hood up
Swagger like you know what you’re doing
Shoulders up

Skirts are easy access and heels make you slow
A ponytail is an absolute no no

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear?
Feel the fear?

Do not make eye contact
But make sure you could identify them after the attack
Get a marked cab
Don’t get a taxi on your own
Avoid kerb-crawlers but be visible from the road

Promise me you’ll get the bus
I’ll come and meet you at the bus-stop
You’ll be safe on a bike until you get knocked off
You’ll be safe with your friends
Maybe they could drop you off

If you are confronted speak slowly and calmly
If you are confronted scream as loud as you can
If you are confronted the police will take it seriously
If you are confronted the police won’t give a fuck

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear?
Feel the fear?

Keys between your fingers
Alarm ready
A lighter and a can will make a firebomb
Steady
Remember your karate lessons
Self-defence
Pepper spray’s illegal, but you can use deodorant

Type 999 into your phone
But never have your phone on show
Listening to music might make you feel safe
But we all know wearing headphones, is how you get raped

So call me when you’re home
Text me when you’re safe
Get a guy to walk with you and don’t be out too late
I know you want the freedom just to walk around at night
But the streets aren’t safe for you so stay inside

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear?
Feel the fear?

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel

Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun

Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
