I’ve been raped

I’ve been raped of my dignity
I’ve been raped left with humility
I’ve been raped, raped emotionally
I’ve been raped left with insanity
I’ve been raped by politics religion too
Commerce rapes society’s views
But there’s one kind of rape I can’t understand
It’s the worst kind of rape it’s the one that’s done by man

I’ve been raped, raped by the teachers in school
I’ve been raped made out to be the fool
I’ve been raped “but tell me what’s new
I’ve been raped, raped of my point of view
Did God create man or man create god
Or was he dyslexic and couldn’t spell dog
Whatever the reason we may be here
It’s only mankind that can rape you using fear

All you show is violence all you show is conceit
All you know is contention all you know is deceit
You crave to have the power you crave to dominate
Your egocentric schizophrenic distorted manic state

I’ve been raped but I’m still on my feet
I’ve been raped I’m down but you ain’t got me beat
I’ve been raped, raped so viciously
I’ve been raped I struggle to be free
But you held me down with all your power and might
Inflicting your torture while I tried to fight
You were relentless but I never gave in
And that’s why I want you to know

I’ve been raped of my dignity
I’ve been raped left with humility
I’ve been raped but I’m still on my feet
I’ve been raped but you ain’t got me beat
