Not to Blame |
The story hit the news |
From coast to coast |
They said you beat the girl |
You loved the most |
Your charitable acts |
Seemed out of place |
With the beauty |
With your fist marks on her face |
Your buddies all stood by |
They bet their fortunes |
And their fame |
That she was out of line |
And you were not to blame |
Six hundred thousand doctors |
Are putting on rubber gloves |
And they’re poking |
At the miseries made of love |
They say they’re learning |
How to spot |
The battered wives |
Among all the women |
They see bleeding through their lives |
I bleed-- |
For your perversity-- |
These red words that make a stain |
On your white-washed claim that |
She was out of line |
And you were not to blame |
I heard your baby say |
When he was only three |
«Daddy, let’s get some girls |
One for you and one for me.» |
His mother had the frailty |
You despise |
And the looks |
You love to drive to suicide |
Not one wet eye around |
Her lonely little grave |
Said, «He was out of line girl |
You were not to blame.» |
