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
