Delilah Bon has dropped the angriest song of her career with “Dead Men Don’t Rape”. Speaking about the track, Lauren Tate stated:
After Roe Vs Wade overturned in the US, I saw the very real aftermath on social media. So many women feeling completely helpless knowing their human right to bodily autonomy had been stripped from them.
It made me think of how the system was failing women and those with uterus’s so badly, especially with such high cases of rape and the majority of those cases not resulting in convictions. Not only are victims being punished in a system that’s meant to protect them, the punishment of illegal abortion in many countries is worse than those of actual rapists.
It’s heartbreaking to see cases of women and girls killing their rapists in self defence and spending their life behind bars because they knew the system would not protect them. I wrote, mixed and produced this song in 3 days after being so deeply hurt by everything that’s happening right now.
Listen to the track below.

Dead Men Don’t Rape Lyrics
Dead men don’t rape Dead men don’t rape Dead men don’t rape
They get so offended when I say Dead men don’t rape
But where is their anger when I say Women are women are women are dying?
This is my body
My body is mine don’t belong to the government This is my body
It’s mine to decide what the fuck I can do with it This is my body
My right to decide is my right to my freedom This is my body yeah yeah
Not just a body yeah
They’re starting a war creating a scene My body is not just a playground
For men with their guns religion and greed
They’re taking our freedom to breed now If freedom to choose is taken away
How many more babies will die now?
How many women will die now?
Tell me how many more people will die now?
It’s never been pro life only been pro white Black mothers fighting for justice
And what about babies you wanna save them?
You only care when they’re unborn But you’re from the uk doesn’t affect you?
But in the same ship we’re sinking Untapped is the anger feminist power A new generation are screaming no
Dead men don’t rape Dead men don’t rape
You get so offended when I say Dead men don’t rape
But where is your anger when I say Women are women are women are dying?
This is my body
My body is mine don’t belong to the government This is my body
It’s mine to decide what the fuck I can do with it This is my body
My right to decide is my right to my freedom This is my body yeah yeah
I am somebody yeah
All of these men do it in secret Not ready to be a father
So where are their voices where is their anger?
Acting like it doesn’t matter Punish the victim making her suffer
Nobody even believed her Now she is pregnant having his baby
Raped by her very own father
Oh i wanna scream Scream til I break
They say i’m over reacting
But how can i smile put on a face When all my sisters are dying?
But free are the rapists child molesters walking round Tasting their freedom
Because of the system no more abortions And fuck all the children that need them
Dead men don’t rape Dead men don’t rape
You get so offended when I say Dead men don’t rape
But where is your anger when I say Women are women are women are dying?
Women are dying
And every day my thoughts have been spiralling How many rights will they take from the women Non binary trans people? Violence?
Is it the answer?
Maybe it is and they’re scared we’ll discover The strength of our feminine power
The strength of our anger in numbers
We are the witches they burned at the stake Black brown indigenous women replaced With voices of only white women today
Who don’t know the struggles that these women face But this generation is ready to change
We stand with our sisters of every race We understand racism still has it’s place
In oppressing so many young women today
So keep your politics out of my uterus And your hands off my body Excuse me mr people are dying
People are people are people are dying My body my choice my future Keep your hands off my body Excuse me mr women are dying
Women are women are women are dying
And when a guns got more fucking rights that a girl Keep your politics out of my body
Excuse me mr children are dying Children are children are children are dying
My body my choice my future Keep your hands off my body Women are dying women are dying
Women are women are women are dying
This generation has the tools to push for a brighter future
Where victims are not punished in a system that is meant to protect them
Women,
trans, non binary and people with uterus’s will have the rights to their own bodies
And rapists will not walk free anymore no
No
Dead men don’t rape What the fuck
Dead men don’t rape No
Dead men don’t rape Dead men don’t rape
