Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Lady Bird actress and guest host Saoirse Ronan sang a song about sexual harassment with the female stars of Saturday Night Live this weekend.

Ronan, Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant appear in the pre-recorded segment and call out actors, filmmakers, media stars and politicians who have been publicly accused in recent months of acting inappropriately toward women.

"All these big, cool, powerful guys are turning out to be -- what's the word? -- habitual predators," Bryant said in an introduction to the song "Welcome to Hell."

"Cat's out of the bag. Women get harassed all the time," McKinnon added.

"And it's like, 'Dang, is this the world now?'" Bryant wondered.

"But here's a little secret that every girl knows ..." Ronan chimed in.

"Oh, this been the damn world," said Strong.

The song then kicks in with: "It's freaky and nasty, its button under the desk bad, but this is our hometown, we'll show you around. Welcome to hell. Now we're all in here."
