Take her arms and hold her down...
Until she stops kicking
Take her arms and hold her down...
Until she she stops moving
And they don't know her
But what the fuck
They've got nothing else they can do
And they've no reason
But still they come
And I
Would have a hard time facing you
This crime
The shame of what a man can do
Take her arms and hold her down...
Until she stops screaming
Take her arms and hold her down...
Until she stops breathing
And they don't know her
But what the fuck
They've got nothing else they can do
And they've no reason
But still they come
And I
Would have a hard time facing you
This crime
The shame of what a man can do
Take the night back
All they've stolen
All we took from you
Until she stops kicking
Take her arms and hold her down...
Until she she stops moving
And they don't know her
But what the fuck
They've got nothing else they can do
And they've no reason
But still they come
And I
Would have a hard time facing you
This crime

The shame of what a man can do
Take the night back
All they've stolen

Two songs about rape in a row. A bit dark for a Friday afternoon

Oh just great, a minute ago I heard a song about murder suicide, and now about rape! 
WTF??

Right. When it first came out, the band said in interviews that the song was inspired by a real-life attack of a good friend of theirs—-and so they channeled their horror over what men are capable of into this song. It's reflected in the line:

Very disturbing.
I saw Glenn Phillips at Joe's Pub in NYC a few years ago and his daughters were in the audience. He said he always dedicates a song to his wife so I called out for this song....I thought it was funny--- Glenn, not so much. Guess he doesn't have a good a sense of humor as I thought.
