You say we're all the same

You don't even know my name

Sometime somewhere some man hurt you

I'm one of them so I get stuck with the blame

You think you know about me

You don't know a damn thing about me



I'm not all men, just one man, I'm not all men



There's one subject that everyone enjoys

I heard the boys talk the talk to the boys

I heard the girls talk the talk to the girls

It's all the same noise, neither one's worse

I didn't always tell the truth

But then again, neither did you



I'm not all men

I'm just one man

I'm not that man

I'm not all men



Get away and leave me well alone

Take your damage and take it back on 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 tell you that I know exactly what you've been through

You know it just might be

That you have no problem with me

I'm not a rapist in waiting

I'm not the one you should be hating



You take your fear and you pull it inside

It builds up and rage starts to rise

You turn it loose and your anger is blind

And you see me as the enemy

That's not the way it ought to be



You generalize and tell me lies

Like all I want's between you thighs

All the things that I put you through

And all the things that I might do

Don't wonder when I run away

When you tell me it's my time to pay

For all the tears and all the pain

For all the terrible things I never did
