Name: Girl Who Cried Wolf
Duration: P00H03M18S
Description: “Girl Who Cried Wolf” is a pertinent, timely statement on the prevalence of assault. The song puts a fresh twist on the tale of a boy telling lies, instead focusing on the importance of acknowledging truth. The song is both a warning and an optimistic invitation to confront any wolfish, predatory behaviour. Annie hopes it can contribute to some change in the world.

lyrics

-Girl Who Cried Wolf-

Coming home after school with a bruise on my knee
Mum said she’d kiss it better
We’ll fight off the wolves together

She said,
When they’re young, they learn
how to bite without teeth
So when they pack together
Don’t stick around or you’ll get hurt

I didn’t wanna be left in the cold
Coz I knew one of the wolves would go rogue
When I’m alone

Now that I’m older
I can see it much clearer,
When I’m deep in the forest
I know there’s nothing to fear

I’m the girl who was told don’t walk through the woods
Coz that’s where you’ll get what you deserve

But I stood my ground, blew your house down, don’t you make a sound coz I’ll be the girl who cried wolf on you

Walking home after dark so I cover my face
I can hear the shadows breathing
I turn my head and ignore the staring
