Song of the Day

Wrong Man
~ Henry Rollins

You say we're all the same.
You don't even know my name.
Sometime somewhere someone once hurt you
and I'm one of them
So I take all the blame?
You think you know about me?
You don't know a damn thing about me!

I'm not all men
I'm not all men
I'm just one man
I'm not that man!

Here's one subject that everyone enjoys.
I heard the boys talk the talk to the boys
I heard the girls say the same thing to the girls
Oh man... It's all the same, neither one's worse
I didn't always tell the truth
But then again. neither did you!

I'm not all men
I'm not all men
I'm just one man
I'm not that man!

Get away and leave me well alone,
Take your damage and take it on back home
I'm not the blame for your misery
Take your threats away from me
Take that damage and leave me all alone!

I won't try to patronize you
and say, "I know everything that you've been through."
You know... it just might be
You got no problems with me!
I'm not a rapist in waiting
I'm not the one you should be hatin'
Check it out...

I'm not all men
I'm not all men
I'm just one man
I'm not that man!

You take your fear and you pull it inside
It builds up and the rage starts to rise
You push it out and your anger is blind
And you see me as an enemy
That's not the way it oughta be

You generalize and tell me lies
Like all I want's between your thighs
All the things that I put you through
And all the things that I might do
Don't wonder why I run away
When you show me it's my time to pay
For all the tears and all the pain
And all those terrible things I never did

Ya better look deep inside
And check out your mind
Take a good long look at what you're looking at
When you're looking at me!
I'm not that man!
