And to love a god And to fear a flame And to burn a crowd that has a name

And to right or wrong And to weak or strong It is known, just scream it from the wall

I’ve willed, I’ve walked, I’ve read I’ve talked, I know, I know I’ve been here before

Hey, now we won’t be raped Hey, now we won’t be scarred like that Hey, now we won’t be raped Hey, now we won’t be scarred like that

It’s the sun that burns It’s the wheel that turns It’s the way we sing that makes ’em dream

And to Christ a cross And to me a chair I will sit and earn the ransom from up here

I’ve willed, I’ve walked, I’ve read I’ve talked, I know, I know I’ve been here before

Hey, now we won’t be raped Hey, now we won’t be scarred like that Hey, now we won’t be raped Hey, now we won’t be scarred like that Scarred like that

And to love a god And to fear a flame And to burn a love that has a name I’ve willed, I’ve walked, I’ve read I’ve talked, I know, I know I’ve been here before

Hey, now we won’t be raped Hey, now we won’t be scarred like that Hey, now we won’t be raped

Hey, now we won’t be scarred like that Hey, now we won’t be scarred like that Hey, now we won’t be scarred like that
