You feel hurt, baby, wronged
You’ve been drumming up a song
for so long oh
Drum that beat
at the seat of your soul
Out that small hole
Swirling eddy thoughts control
Singing…
“Who hurt who first?”
Humans doing what they will
Tumble down that old hill,
Jack and Jill, oh
Humans being would be just fine
If just one time they could keep
Their tempted minds from wandering
And wondering…
“Who hurt who first?
Who caused pain to whom the worst?”
Such are the traps we fall into
Time and again,
Shackles from ‘way back when’
We don’t wanna shake off,
Yeah, who hurt who first?
Who hurt who first?
(first you’re diving in headlong into this thing that you’re into)
Who caused pain to whom the worst?
(then somehow before you know it you both somehow begin to)
Such are the traps we fall into
(put the blame out there)
Time and again,
(hey hey)
Shackles from ‘way back when’
(ooh ooh)
We don’t wanna shake off,
Yeah, who hurt who first?
(for my sins I’ll start to think the cause is not on the outside)
Who caused pain to whom the worst?
(when we turn this blink to a wink I’ll find I’m riding the up side)
Such are the traps we fall into
(let the warship sink)
Time and again,
(hey, hey)
Shackles from ‘way back when’
(ooh ooh)
We don’t wanna shake off
Yeah, who hurt who first?
