Lyrics

Abused

Now that everybody's worn the expression

Not that you wanted to use

It seems untrue now

But the funniest thing is

It fits you now

To a perfect T

You may never understand this affliction

Although you feel the effects you feel

Bruised now, body and mind you feel

Used now, almost all of the time

Been abused

Abused

Abused

Sunday morning in the aisle with my brother

Watching the men in black tell the youths how

You're supposed to behave, and tell the truth now

You don't know what you're saying

We've been abused

Abused

Abused

Abused

Abused

Abused

Abused

Other people see some evil intention

But the closer you get

The more you get confused how

Why does everyone know

Been abused now

Didn't want it to show
