Hide and Seek (live)

me and all the kids from the neighbourhood
 we play out in the street all summer long
 rule was we had to go home at nite when the street lights came on
 we were oblivious to the rest of the world
 we hold up the cars in the street
 we always played boys against girls
 and both sides would cheat
 strange men would stop their cars at the curb
 say "hey sweetheart, come here"
 and i would go up to the window
 and they would have their dick out in there hands
 and a sick little sneer
 i'd say "here we go again
 yeah, this time you win"
 i would feel dirty; i would feel ashamed
 but i wouldn't let it stop my game
 we would play hide and go seek
 territory would be the whole block
 sometimes the older boys when they find you
 they wouldn't want to tag you
 they just want to talk
 they say "what would you do for a quarter?
 come on, we don't have that much time"
 i'd think for a minute and i'd say
 "ok, give me the quarter first. fine"
 this time you win
 here we go again
 and i would feel dirty and i would feel ashamed
 but i wouldn't let it stop my game
 i remember my first trip alone on the greyhound bus
 a man who put his hands on me as soon as nite fell
 i remember when i was leaving how excited i was
 i remember when i arrived i didn't feel so well
 i remember the teachers who got me so sick
 scared, i went into the bathroom and i threw up in my hair
 i could go on but you know what it just gets worse
 so i should probably stop there.
 girl, next time he wants to know what your problem is
 girl, next time he wants to know where the anger comes from
 just tell him this time the problem is his
 just tell him the anger just comes
 it just comes
