Lyrics
Abused
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
now that everybody's wanting expression
not that you wanted to use
it seems untrue now
but the funniest thing is
it fits you now
through the profanity
you may never understand this affliction
i already feel the effects you feel too
abused now, body and mind
abused now, almost all of the time
been abused
abused
abused
sunday morning hanging out with my brother
watching the lady in black tell the news how
you're supposed to behave, and tell the truth now
you don't know what to say
we've been abused
abused
abused
abused
abused
abused
abused
other people see some evil intention
but the closer you get, the more you get
confused now, why does everyone know
been abused now, didn't want it to show
