[Verse 1]
So, so young
Raped
But I don't realize
Small, white legs, broke
The pain between her thighs

[Chorus]
I see your pretty face
Smashed against the bathroom floor
What a disgrace
Who do I feel sorry for?

[Verse 2]
Skin so cold
How could someone steal a life?
Takes the blame
Wait, I got some shit to say

[Chorus]
I see your pretty face
Smashed against the bathroom floor
What a disgrace
Who do I feel sorry for?
Smashed and raped!
Not again, this is a real crime
What a pretty face
Who do I feel sorry for?

[Bridge]
Wait, something now rips my heart
And takes my soul
I wait too late now, I feel hurt inside
Take my soul away!
Away!

[Chorus]
I see your pretty face
Smashed against the bathroom floor
What a disgrace
Who do I feel sorry for?
Smashed and raped
Not again, this is a real crime
What a pretty face
Who do I feel sorry for?

Bakersfield friends James “Munky” Shaffer, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and David Silveria formed the funk-rock band LAPD in 1989 and moved to Los Angeles with another friend Brian “Head” Welch as their roadie. Later, with Welch as second guitarist, the band named themselves Creep and recorded a demo with pal Ross Robinson.

However, when Shaffer and Welch visited family in Bakersfield, they met Jonathan Davis who added a darker, goth-tinged edge to the band’s heavy groove. Robinson

The band wasn’t dark yet; it had, like, killer grooves and good riffs, but there was some happy edge to it. And when (Davis) walked into the room, it went dark and goth. Basically, during the first song, to audition in the rehearsal room, he started freaking the hell out [laughs]. You couldn’t hear his voice, but you felt chills all over your body, and it was instantly like, “Oh my God, yeah – he’s the one.”
