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
