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
