When did this happen
What have we done
Who is the culprit,
Ah, but everyone
What a shame,
When you lose someone
What to do
When there’s nothing to be done
Why am I the only one
Devastation by degree
Crippling poverty
Of spirit
You’ve grown accustomed to their screams
Or worse
you just
refuse
to hear it
Shame!
What a shame
When you lose your self
What to do
When there’s nothing to be done
Why am I still the only one
Desecration, look and see
Once again you’ve chosen novelty
For what
You don’t know-
you pay the fee,
how much for just a touch, I guess we’ll see
Your voice, your choice
in all honesty
I was so happy when I came
And you were young wild and strong
You pushed me down, I cut your cheek
I played the clown, you thought me chic
But when I got too rough
And you too weak
And I’d just had about enough of being seen as small and meek
I proved you weren’t so tough
You said “you freak”
I said “you reek”
I felt the thud
of blood
was pumping well above
it’s peak
And when you went to speak-
I said, my love, let’s help you turn the other cheek
(Slap)
And that was just last week
