Barry II - 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 f*cking 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
