Miss Maggie was way too young to understand

Why she got thrown into someone else's hands

Why she woke up to strange men

They tore her to pieces

And she couldn't comprehend

Why she was locked up in a basement

Filled with men

Should've gone to school

Instead she did them


Don't touch me

I'm fragile

I'm bitter in my heart


Mama sold me

For candy

And I was ruined from the start


Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?

They cut me up in places

I don't even understand

It's normalcy to me, but how will my friends understand?

I'm five years old

Sleepin' with a million men


All grown up and her body has decayed

All those promiscuous games she had to play

Oh, she skipped the jungle-jungle-gym phase


She's tryin' to look at things in a bright way

Sees the a light peekin' through the end of the hallway

No, she's tryin' tryin' tryin' to escape...


I'm runnin'

Full force, dear

But it's harder when you're bones

I'm weak-kneed

But I'm flyin'

Out of this hell hole


Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?

They cut me up in places

I don't even understand

It's normalcy to me, but how will my friends understand?

I'm ten years old

Runnin' from a million men

A million men


Finally the light is comin' close

No turning back

Run full force

Angels swoop down and grab me

And now I'm safe away

From the million men who raised me


Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?

They cut me up in places

I don't even understand

It's normalcy to me

How will my boyfriend understand?

I'm seventeen

With a history

Of a million men

Men

A million men


A million men

A million men

A million

A million men


A million men

A million men

A million

A million men


A million men...
