Wrong Man - Lyrics by Henry Rollins


Lyrics

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
