Abused Lyrics by Elliott Smith

Grand Mal: Studio Rarities

2004

Now that everybody's worn the expression
Not that you wanted to use
It seems untrue now
But the funniest thing is
It fits you now
To a perfect T

You may never understand this affliction
Although you feel the effects you feel
Bruised now, body and mind you feel
Used now, almost all of the time
Been abused
Abused
Abused

Sunday morning in the aisle with my brother
Watching the men in black tell the youths how
You're supposed to behave, and tell the truth now
You don't know what you're saying
We've been abused
Abused
Abused
Abused
Abused
Abused
Abused

Other people see some evil intention
But the closer you get
The more you get confused how
Why does everyone know
Been abused now
Didn't want it to show
