I could hear it in the way
that you talked to me today
i could see it in your eyes
that you were tellin' me lies
you don't have to show the scars but...

why do all those men
beat their women
why do all those women get
beaten by men

you're to scared to tell the truth
not for yourself but for that brute
slaves and masters in the game
but this reality is not the same

why do all those men
beat their women
why do all those women get
beaten by men

the outside world does not know about it
the outside world does not want to know it
the outside world is too blind to see it
the outside world is too crippled to feel it

why do all those men
beat their women
why do all those women get
beaten by men
