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
