lyrics

Petty Misdemeanor
husband sleeping next to his wife
three little mice passed out on the floor
which one looks the tastiest tonight
his eyes wide open
he decides on his prey

the first one he knows a little too well
they've shared some yucks at his father in law's store
second one, well, she's sassy as a whip
she also lives in the neighboring town
the third one was so nice and friendly to him
she tried to get him to open up
he bought them all some tropical drinks
& strong shots of liquor from the dance club

stumbling back to the hotel
crying and carrying on
passed out on the bare floor
he was doing them a favor, inviting them over

next thing you know you're faced with a rapist
or was it rape? just a petty misdemeanor
you got up and ran, tried to lock into the bathroom
he followed you in
he followed you in

you said "that's enough"
you said "that's enough"
but you whispered it to not wake anyone up
you just whispered it to not wake anyone up

you thought it was your boyfriend
but no, you had broken up
you thought it was your lover
but it was cold and full of evil

you said "that's enough"
you said "that's enough"
you said "that's enough"
you should screamed
GET THE FUCK AWAY

and one of those mice said to him
oh, you're a monster, but i forgive you for your sins
all those terrible things that you did to my friend
but you're just a mistaken child of god
i forgive you
i forgive you
i forgive you
so that i can carry on

did you ever think of his children
did you ever think of the other women
he's probably raped 20 other women
he's probably raped 50 other women

10 years later he's still forgiven
10 years later he's still forgiven
10 years later he's still forgiven
10 years later he's still forgiven
