Me and all the kids from the neighbourhood
We'd play out in the street all summer long
and the rule was we had to go home at night
when the street lights came on
We were oblivious to the rest of the world
We'd hold up the cars in the street
yeah, we'd always play boys against girls
and both sides would cheat
Strange men would park their cars at the curb,
say "Hey sweetheart come here"
And I'd go up to window and they'd have their dick out in their hand
and a sick little sneer
And I'd say "Here we go again
Yeah okay, this time you win"
And I would feel dirty, I'd feel ashamed
But I wouldn't let it stop my gaze
We would play hide and go seek
The territory would be the whole block
And sometimes when the older boys when they'd find you
they wouldn't want to tag you, they'd just wanna talk
They'd say "What would you do for a quarter?
Come on, we don't have that much time"
And I'd think a minute and I'd say "Okay
Give me a quarter first...Fine"
This time you win
Here we go again
And I'd feel dirty, and I would feel ashamed
But I wouldn't let it stop my gaze
I remember my first trip alone on the Greyhound bus
and the man who put his arms on me as soon as night fell
I remember when I was leaving how excited I was
I remember when I arrived I didn't feel so well
I remember the teachers at school got me so sick and scared
I went into the bathroom and I threw up into my hair
And I could go on but you know, it just gets worse
and I should probably stop here...
Girl, next time he wants to know what your problem is
Girl, next time he wants to know where the anger comes from
Just tell him this time the problem's his
Just tell him the anger just comes
It just comes
