Salem Lyrics

Down

Down at the Salem shoreline

Now

A women's in chains for a crime

How

She did not commit it, ohh why

Ohh why

She says that she's innocent

But if she's not a witch, then alright

She'll drown in the river just fine

But she's not the problem

The man who abused her has lied

Oh has lied

So she dies

You better get her going

There is so much at stake

But every woman knows a woman who's been in her place

Next time she'll shut her mouth

'Cause we don't care for rape

Seem more concerned with the false accusations anyway

You are a lion tamer and when he attacked

You made it out the enclosure but went back for your hat

I know it feels like it happened so many years ago

But why does today make Salem feel like a miracle

A miracle

We treat women like they are guilty till proven innocent

We treat men like they could never rape your fucking kids again

Oh isn't it

Oh isn't it

Oh isn't it

Salem

You better get her going

There is so much at stake

Somehow there is no man who knows a man, I'm losing faith

Next time she'll shut her mouth

'Cause we don't care for rape

Seem more concerned with the false accusations anyway

You are a lion tamer and when he attacked

You made it out the enclosure but went back for your hat

I wish we learnt from the past mistakes that we used to make

But I'd believe you if you said Salem was yesterday

Ooo yesterday

I'm losing faith

Ooo yesterday

Ooo yesterday

Ooo yesterday

Ooo yesterday

It was just yesterday

That my best friend was raped
