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
