Elliott Smith Abused Lyrics

now that everybody's wanting expression
not that you wanted to use
it seems untrue now
but the funniest thing is
it fits you now
through the profanity

you may never understand this affliction
although you feel the effects you feel bruised now
body and mind
abused now almost all of the time
been abused
abused
abused

sunday morning hanging out with my brother watching the lady in black tell the news how
you're supposed to behave, and tell the truth now
you don't know what to say
we've been abused
abused
abused
abused
abused
abused
abused

other people see some evil intention
but the closer you get, the more you get
confused now, why does everyone know
been abused now, didn't want it to show
