The grounds ‘a shakin’
the animals all quakin’
lightin’ strikes,
‘n sacred rites,
oh god,
oh dear god,
I hurt your feelin’s.
I’m sorry, boy,
I’m so sorry.
Hey, I gotta ask ya,
you ever had someone try to rape ya?
You ever had those fire-lock eyes run ya up ‘n down?
You ever had strong hands,
far-too-strong hands,
run themselves along?
Did I ever tell you about a man named Christian?
‘n you realize we’ve got a whole culture,
all of it, so fuckin’ much of it,
based around makin’ that okay to do to someone?
but it don’t matter,
it don’t matter,
I hurt your feelin’s
some.
