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
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
