IT WAS HARD TO AVOID
I SUPPOSE IT WAS THE SHAME
BUT THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY

YOU SEE WE'D NEVER MET
AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE NAMES
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO

SO I TURNED ON THE CROWD
AND I SCREAMED 'YOU AND YOU'
'IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU'

AND THEY SEEMED TO THINK
THAT I LOOKED THAT WAY
OR MAYBE I WAS WRONG

SO I SAID
DO YOU KNOW MR. WALL
AND THEY LOOKED THE OTHER WAY
AND THEN THEY SMILED AT ME

BUT THE POLICE CAME
AND I SAID IT WAS ME
AND I JUST WALKED AWAY
