Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My friend told me of a secret
Told me that she blames herself
You invaded her magnificence
Put your hand over her mouth
[Verse 2]
Why was she all alone
Wearin' her shirt that low?
And they said boys will be boys
Deaf to the word, "No"
[Verse 3]
Your father told you that you're innocent
Told you women rape themselves
Would you blame your little sister
If she cried to you for help?
[Verse 4]
Why was she all alone
Wearin' her shirt that low?
And they said boys will be boys
Deaf to, deaf to
Deaf to the word, "No, no, no, no"
[Verse 5]
Like a mower in the morning
I will never let you rest
You broke all the bonds she gave ya
Time to pay the fuckin' rent
