if you'll make it down to the water

You better rub against the rocks

Until the shame wears off

You gotta get it off

Then wrap yourself up in napkins

All the ones it takes

You took it all for granted

And that was your mistake



You could have done something, anything

But you didn't react

You were blindfolded, petrified

When it came to that



He says: "I wasn't aware of what I was up against

I never saw the ban

I miscalculated the resistance

When I tried to act a man

I got carried away by power

The situation got out of hand

And anyway she was asking for it

She was asking bad"



You could have been someone, anyone

Instead of less than none

A good-looking girl in the mountains

Untouched by evil scum



Guilt by association

If there ever was

Guilt by not taking action

I know the feeling

Cause I've seen it close to home
