5am friday morning thursday night far from sleep
I'm still up and driving can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live
And I wanna live
Got a full tank and some chips
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants
You can laugh
Its kind of funny
Things you think
Times like these
Like I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
Yes I wore a slinky red thing
Does that mean I should spread for you, your friends
Your father, Mr Ed
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
And I know what this means
Me and Jesus a few years back used to hang
And he said "it's your choice babe just remember
I don't hink you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well"
Tell me whats right
Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
and do you know CAROLINA
Where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through your head when there's a man on your back
And you're pushed flat on your stomach it's not a classic caddilac
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
I'm still up and driving can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live
And I wanna live
Got a full tank and some chips
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants
You can laugh
Its kind of funny
Things you think
Times like these
Like I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
Yes I wore a slinky red thing
Does that mean I should spread for you, your friends
Your father, Mr Ed
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
And I know what this means
Me and Jesus a few years back used to hang
And he said "it's your choice babe just remember
I don't hink you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well"
Tell me whats right
Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
and do you know CAROLINA
Where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through your head when there's a man on your back
And you're pushed flat on your stomach it's not a classic caddilac
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this

But I guess that's what happens when you're used to watching all that T and A on mTV. You forget what real music is and somehow find something as unique and poignant as this "boring".
its true, rape cases in trial are amazingly tough and often further traumatise victims. the onus to establish rape is extremely high and unfortunately "bias" thinking seeps in such as the slutty clothes she was wearing, or her initial flirting.
being a victim myself, and a law student, its painful to see how unfair it is sometimes. although in many cases it may seem morally wrong and morally may be equivalent to rape, in legal terms it is often not. however, i guess we dont want innocent people to end up in jail because of a viscious accusation as well.
It sounds candid, raw, like a confession or recollection of events.
It feels cold and lonely like the way you feel after you've been raped.
It's ok if this song makes people uncomfortable, but if it bores you then you are missing the point.
I'm glad she wrote this, it means a lot to me (it really helped me in the past), and I wish I could thank her personally.
There's an link to an mp3 at the bottom of the above page.
"But I haven't seen Barbados, so i must get out of this".
really strikes me the hardest. Just keeping it together as much as possible, willing yourself to get through it, no matter what because you know theres so much to live for. It's such an amazing yet simple line.
And I also love:
"and i wanna live"
Once again really simple but really powerful.
I'm glad you were able to escape that incident Prisoner.I.Was, but it must've been very tough even though you managed to fight him off.
People who honestly say this song sucks are either just immature idiots or emotionless shells of a human being. You make my blood boil.
Anyway, I first heard this song on a video called 'The Righteous Babes' (directed by Pratibha Parmar, very recommended!). They played this song while showing shots of neon lights of strip bars and it was quite chilling. Tori said in an interview that she now prefers not to perform this song at all her concerts, because of the emotional drain it causes her, as well having to put herself in that kind of mood to sing it.
