Song Notes:
This song can be considered as Polly's response to her rapist. In Kurt's words,
it's an anti-rape song. A sort of poetic justice, where a guy rapes a girl, ends
up in jail, and gets raped there.
The lyrics that were later added ('my favorite inside source...') are about the
media's rape of the band.
Song Lyrics:
Rape me
Rape me my friend,
Rape me,
Rape me again.
I'm not the only one (x4)
Hate me,
Do it, and do it again.
Waste me,
Rape me, my friend.
I'm not the only one (x4)
My favorite inside source,
I'll kiss your open sores,
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn.
Rape me
Rape me my friend,
Rape me,
Rape me again.
I'm not the only one (x4)
Rape me (x9)
