I have collected here lyrics to songs that have been a great help to me as I struggle to understand sex abuse and the pain it causes. I don't have much yet, so please check often for updates.
"Jenny Says" Cowboy Mouth
I got no reason for the things I fear the things that plague me when I see and hear a dime's a nickel and a nickel's none I'll throw myself into the Sunday sun A summer Sunday when you went insane you said you're going and I said I came I'm throwing oranges in an apple cart the ties that bind are tearing me apart Jenny says turn off the radio Jenny says turn out the light Jenny says turn off the video you beat yourself up to bring yourself down let it go! let it go! let it go! let it go! let it go! when the world is coming down on me I let it go I got no reason for the things I say she turned toward me then she turned away there's a lot of forces in a modern world they take a toll upon a modern girl I got no reason for the things I fear the things that plague me when I see and hear I'll press my finger on an itchy trigger what once was small is now so much bigger I got no reason for the things I do the dealer deals and then the dealer's screwed you throw your cards upon a playing table my name is Cain and I am now unabled you beat yourself up 'cause you love it
"Wrong Way" Sublime
Annie's twelve years old in two more she'll be a whore
Nobody ever told her it's the wrong way.
Don't be afraid with the quickness you get laid for your family gets paid
It's the wrong way.
I gave her all htat I had to give,
I'm gonna make it hard to live.
Big salty tears running down her chin
And it ruins up her make up
I never wanted,
a cigarette, pressed between her lips but I'm staring at her tits,
It's the wrong way.
strong if I can, but I am only a man, so I take her to the can, it's the wrong way.
The only family that she ever had is her seven horny brothers and her drunk-ass dad.
He needed money so he put her on the street,
everything was going fine until the day she met me.
Happy are you sad,
wanna shoot your dad
I'll do anything I can the wrong way.
We talked all night and tried to make it right,
Believe me shit was tight,
It was the wrong way.
Don't run away if you wanna stay,
Cause I ain't here to make ya',
It's up to you what you really wanna do,
Spend some time in America, dub-style
She'll give you all that she got to give,
but I'm gonna make it hard to live.
Big salty tears rolling down to her chin
and it smears her makeup
I never wanted.
So we ran away and
I'm sorry when I say that straight to this very day
It was the wrong way.
She took a hike, don't matter if I like it or not because
she only wants the wrong way.
I gave her all that I had to give,
but she still wouldn't take it, oh no.
Her two brown eyes only get larger still,
and it still ruins her makeup
I never wanted.
"Mother's Day" Nada Surf
I wanna know, I wanna know
Do you have the balls to ask
What do you see when you look at a girl
Is she a game you wanna win
If no one was looking
What would you do to get in?
Do you have friends who would be proud
If you went in for the kill,
Do you have friends who would do it
even against her will?
What if they did that to your sister?
What if they did that to your mother?
Why are we so slow
Why are we so slow
I bet you think you're such a hotty
But a body afraid is not a sexual body,
What do you see when you look at a girl
Is she a game you wanna win
If no one was looking,
What would you do to get in?
Every bodies been laughed at and
Every bodies been left out but
It's no excuse to turn it around,
No boy has the right to hold a girl down
What if they did that to your sister?
What if they did that to your mother?
On your star wars sheets
Where you set the scene
Was she seducing you
Or did she want to scream?
It's you vs. you,
I can't forget that tomorrow's mother's day
I'm talking to you, you know who you are
You're going too far
You'll feel good for ten seconds
She'll be screwed up for life
Blue balls and all that bullshit.
