corey kilgannon - ashamed lyrics
nashville preacher takes the pulpit
with a fire in his eye
talks redemption, thanking jesus
for sheep and holy life
but back in college
cracking cold ones
hanging with the guys
“y’all should have seen this chick i f+cked the other night”
there’s religions, politicians
a million ways to hide
we nurture cruel men’s painted egos
p+ss on women’s pride
boys will just be boys i guess
there’s no chance to set things right
it’s been going down this way
for all recorded time
[chorus]
she says baby it happened to me too
what the h+ll was i supposed to do
when he climbed in through my window
i called out, no one came
the odds were stacked against me 1 in 5 women get raped
i wonder what percentage are then made to feel ashamed
radiant woman, sees forgiveness
despite all that’s been done
won’t be silenced, shares her story
begins to overcome
more enlightened, more aware
of how pain gives birth to love
dreams that someday we’ll be married
a daughter and a son
to be honest, that thought k!lls me
are we drifting further from
a world that’s safe and suitable
for a child to grow up
our boy becomes a man someday
gets shipped off with a gun
teach rosanna, pure and lovely
early how to run
tell rosanna, falls of tears
what happened to her mom
[chorus]
she says baby it happened to me too
what the h+ll was i supposed to do
when he climbed in through my window
i called out, no one came
the odds were stacked against me 1 in 5 women get raped
i wonder what percentage are then made to feel ashamed
